Resumen

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of implementing Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) in the Cellular Biotechnology Laboratory of Ricardo Palma University. A quasi-experimental pre-post design was applied, including the development of standard operating procedures (SOPs), a structured training programme and a compliance self-inspection. Fourteen participants were evaluated before and after training. The mean knowledge score increased from 10.63 ± 0.93 to 14.93 ± 0.73, representing a 40% improvement. Additionally, compliance with GLP increased across all evaluated categories, with notable improvements in biosafety, SOP implementation, and waste management. These findings suggest that a structured GLP implementation can significantly enhance both knowledge and operational performance in academic laboratories. Future studies should incorporate external audits and objective quality indicators to strengthen validation. Copyright: Copyright
