Team:WHU-China/Safety

Welcome to our Safety Page. We will first answer the safety questions asked by iGEM headquarters briefly, and then discuss safety issues associated with our project in detail. As well, we will report our ideas and practice on guaranteeing and developing biosafety.

Brief Answers to the Questions

Q1. Would any of your project ideas raise safety issues in terms of: Researcher safety, public safety, or environmental safety?
Our design is based on the commonly used E.coli K12 strain and genes we manipulate are original genes contained in E. coli and the protein products, at least from current understanding, will cause no harm to researchers, the public and environment. In addition, strict lab practice is executed to further ensure the safety.

Q2. 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?
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?
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
