Please use this page to answer the safety questions posed on the safety page.

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

All projects are being conducted in lab-safe strains of E. coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. All researchers have been trained in applicable lab saftey to insure that no bacteria or yeast are inadbvetantly released into the environment. The researchers have also been trained in proper hand3eling of chemcials, which is required due to the work with alkanes which requires use of chemicals not normally us3ed in a molecular biology lab. Beyond normal concerns about acidental environmental release, no major issues of public or environmental release have been raised. 2. Do any of the new BioBrick parts (or devices) that you made this year raise any safety issues? None of the parts we made this year raise any saftey issues. 3. Is there a local biosafety group, committee, or review board at your institution? The University of Washington has an Environemntal Health and Safety(EHS) committee that deals with biosaftey and other safety and heath issues. The EHS committee has no concerns about our projects. 4. 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? We do not have further ideas as to how to handle saftey issues that pertain to iGem or synthetic biology as a whole.
