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

Our project doesn’t involve any risk beyond the ones that are usual in a laboratory when manipulating biological material such as non pathogenic bacteria. Measures will be taken in order to assure the students’ safety while working with ethidium bromide in electrophoresis, as well as avoiding any direct contact with the bacterial cutures, which are the two main risks when researching in a laboratory. Since we’re not using any pathogenic organism, and the transformations made aren’t either, there should be no real problem in case of them being accidentally released into the environment,something that will be strictly controlled.

Do any of the new BioBrick parts (or devices) that you made this year raise any safety issues?

We haven’t created any new BioBrick yet, but we don’t plan to use or create any BioBrick related to pathogenesis, though some substances produced by the modified organisms might be considered toxic for humans, but just like the majority of the ones in the registry (only hazardous at very high concentrations).

Is there a local biosafety group, committee, or review board at your institution?

We’re not aware of the existence of any biosafety group in our university, but we intend to abide by the regulations in force promulgated by the European Union, such as the Directive 2009/41/EC on the contained use of genetically modified micro-organisms.

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 consider that the current safety rules concerning the competition and the manipulation of the different parts are sufficiently strict.
