PHS Policy Regarding the Production of Custom Antibodies
When custom antibodies are purchased from an outside vendor, Rutgers' IACUCs do not require an IACUC protocol, as explained below. Public Health Service (PHS) policy is only concerned with the purchase of antibodies when they are custom made, meaning, "if produced using antigen(s) provided by or at the request of the investigator (i.e., not purchased off-the-shelf)." Learn more here. When custom antibodies are purchased (regardless of the funds being used) Rutgers' IACUCs must verify that 1) the vendor is PHS assured, USDA certified and AAALAC accredited, and 2) that an IACUC protocol for the specific work being conducted is active at the vendor. Verification of these items can be provided to your local IACUC office or the IACUC will verify them with the vendor; please submit documents and/or questions to your
local IACUC office.

Rutgers Licenses Low-Cost, High-Quality Graphene Production Method to Everpower
Rutgers University has licensed a technology that allows for the mass production of high-quality graphene at a reduced cost to Everpower International Holdings Co., Ltd. Invented by a team led by Manish Chhowalla, professor of materials science and engineering in the School of Engineering at Rutgers University-New Brunswick, the method uses microwaves to produce high-quality graphene from graphene oxide, and has the potential to generate large quantities at low cost. Graphene has the potential to be used in enormous industrial applications, including semiconductor, battery and composite materials, providing the basis for improving many traditional industries by replacing less efficient materials.
"This creative and collaborative
arrangement with Everpower demonstrates how committed we are to advancing Rutgers
technologies..." said David Kimball, associate vice president for research commercialization at Rutgers. Explore the licensing process here.

Research Regulatory Affairs - New Systems Updates
The University continues its work on configuring the eIACUC system, slated for university wide rollout in April. eIACUC is a Click/Huron product used by many Big Ten Academic Alliance peers. Configuration continues through the involvement of several faculty across Rutgers campuses. eIACUC will replace the existing ACFC and paper PDF forms currently in use. After rollout, all new de novo protocols will be written in eIACUC; amendments and annual reviews will be routed through the system (without having to rewrite those in the system).
The rollout of the new electronic eIRB system to the legacy Rutgers research community will begin mid-spring. Look for announcements about training times and locations shortly.
