Safety

Would any of your project ideas raise safety issues in terms of: researcher safety, public safety, or environmental safety?

Our project does not pose any dangers to researchers of the public: We are following widely used lab protocols in a appropriate lab facility. The organisms used in our project, namely E. coli (TOP10 strain) and S. cerevisiae, are well-known and considered safe.

Although we are tackling an environmental problem, we do not intend to use our system outside of a lab satisfying safety requirements.

Do any of the new BioBrick parts (or devices) that you made this year raise any safety issues? If yes, did you document these issues in the Registry? how did you manage to handle the safety issue? How could other teams learn from your experience?


Is there a local biosafety group, committee, or review board at your institution? If yes, what does your local biosafety group think about your project? If no, which specific biosafety rules or guidelines do you have to consider in your country?


Do you have any other ideas how to deal with safety issues that could be useful for future iGEM competitions? How could parts, devices and systems be made even safer through biosafety engineering?
