Our team is under daily supervision of Alfonso Jaramillo, the team direction of Bio-Synth Group of iSSB. We receive regular help as well from Ioana Popescu (Engineer and Hygiene and Security Correspondent) as well from a Ph.D student Thomas Landrain working on site. All the iSSB research team is always around to help and advise us about good laboratory practice.
a. Safety risks
Escherichia coli: we use DH5a and TOP 10 which are common laboratory strains[http://www.openwetware.org/wiki/E._coli_genotypes], also considered as Level 1 Biosafety Containment agent. All E. coli strains we use in our experiments are non-pathogenic. Except Ampicillin and Kanamycin resistance genes there are no potentially dangerous biobricks in our constructs.
