Safety
1. Would any of your project ideas raise safety issues in terms of: researcher safety, public safety, or environmental safety?
A:No. Our project is about how to use lactobacillus to produce proteins, which can be used for neutralizing the effect of alcoholic drinks. No serious safety problem can be caused by our project and we kept our promise and rules which ensure the safety during the whole process.
2. Do any of the new BioBrick parts (or devices) that you made this year raise any safety issues?
A: No any potential safety issues. The BioBricks we use in our project would only relate to the genes which are analyzed in peer-reviewed papers.
3. Is there a local biosafety group, committee, or review board at your institution?
Yes. The safety check is organized and operated frequently by the Department of Life Science, Huazhong University of Science and technology. During our project, they evaluate and promote our laboratory as well as project. There are also several professors and research assistants are invited to help us with the safety issue.
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?
A: We believe that comprehensive documentation which with detailed and characterized parts can be a good practice.
