We are working at the platform of [1] Institute of Systems and Synthetic Biology (iSSB), which is a research unit of Université d’Evry-Val-d’Essonne. It is fully equipped for bacterial genetics and molecular biology work in terms of devices. The lab is monitored on regular basis by a security officer of iSSB.
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. Risks to the safety and health of team members or others in the lab?
Escherichia coli: we use DH5a and TOP 10 which are common laboratory strains[2], 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.
