Safety and Security Questions

There were no major safety issues in play besides the standard biological and chemical reagent risks. Standard biosafety precautions were followed so that team members will not be harmed during the project. Extra care was taken when working with the bacteria, however. The parts we created did not code for anything toxic, infectious, or pathological, so there be no issues regarding safety to the public, accidental environmental release or malicious intent.

Duke University has an in house review board for projects of this nature which can be found at http://www.safety.duke.edu/BioSafety/ibc.htm . All students worked in a BL1 lab for the duration of this project and received the Duke mandated general laboratory training for working in a BL1 lab.
