The Sabai Difference: Engaged, Empowering and Efficient Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) Review
From the CRO perspective, navigating the IBC process for the first time can feel daunting. And even experienced personnel will sometimes shudder at past IBC experiences. Biosafety review is a complicated process, often poorly explained. Prevalent pain points range from changing guidance and regulations to complex documentation needs to unreliable timelines and delayed study startup.
Perhaps, like many of our clients, you’ve found yourself in a difficult position:
- Funneling complex and highly technical questions to your sponsor
- Tracking down personnel on the sponsor side capable of answering such questions
- Trying to work with convoluted, incomplete, or even inaccurate communication
- Misspent time and resource burden impacting you, your sponsor and your sites
Sound familiar?
What’s needed most at the IBC submission stage is peace of mind—the calm confidence that difficult questions will be quickly met with accurate, up-to-date, well-articulated information.
That peace of mind is “Sabai.”
Working with Sabai feels drastically different than the typical IBC experience.
In fact, IBC review can be empowering, engaging, and even downright pleasant. Our clients recommend us to their peers because of our accessibility and responsiveness.
We are “people-first,” and we live out that core value in day-to-day processes like our response times. When you email us looking for background information or a technical explanation, we respond to you in less than 24 hours. We’ll even offer to set up an impromptu call to walk you through our answer. That means you can get back to the sponsor quickly, confidently and fully equipped with the right information.

- Real-time support on every IBC application
