Safety in the Lab

As any research lab's top priority, safety was taken very seriously this summer when approaching synthetic biology. To keep our team out of harm's way in the wet lab we began the summer researching and developing a dedicated safety proposal.

Safety for all teams competing this year, iGEM HQ outlines a list of safety-related questions to keep researchers safe and explore the implications of synthetic biology in general. Our Frequently-Asked-Questions (FAQs) page can be viewed here.

Risk Assessment

Our view of safety is not limited to only the wet lab. In conducting synthetic biology, our team examined the ethical, economic and societal implications of synthetic biology in our risk assessment page.

New Directions: Bioterrorism

The International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) team at Queen's University is called QGEM, composed of a group of undergraduate students from Kingston, Canada.

We spent the summer in the lab working on the nematode worm C. elegans to create a bioremediation toolkit.
