    Can anyone share any guidance for investigators/research teams working with viral vectors in translational and clinical research?

    If you are looking for biosafety and occupational health guidance for personnel working with viral vectors, Stanford University Biosafety Manual contains good information.

    https://ehs.stanford.edu/wp-content/uploads/2201_EHS_Biosafety_Manual_v5-final_web_comp_3.pdf

    Also, the following link is a relevant journal article that provides guidance on clinical assessment and post-exposure prophylaxis for occupational exposures to lentivirus viral vectors:

    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5152689/

    These resources should help you in developing occupational health program for research personnel working with viral vectors
