  (a) The department may issue a limited license and registration pursu-
ant  to  which  the limited licensee may perform examinations and proce-
dures within the definition of clinical laboratory technology set  forth

article, provided that an individual qualifying for  a  limited  license
pursuant  to  clause three of subparagraph (ii) of paragraph (b) of this
subdivision shall perform only those examinations  and  procedures  that
are  for the purpose of human trials of such examinations and procedures
as were the subject  of  the  individual's  research  and  that  nothing
