Before doing any hands-on work in the lab, Brandon attended UTK's Biosaftey and Bloodborn Pathogen Safety Course per PCRSP and lab requirements. As he began to become more directly involved in experiements, he remained supervised at all times to ensure that proper techinique was used, sterile environments were maintained, experiemtns were done in the most effiecient and safe ways, and other factors of that nature were taken care of. Any facet of an experiement he participated in, whether with, or later, without direct advice and instruction were consitsently monitored closely in order to maintain a standard of safety.
