Safety issue

Our ultimate goal is to make a device which enables us to control exact cell’s life time (or death time) depending on the number of cell division times. If engineered cells have mutation and increase too much, it may cause the unexpected behavior (biohazard) against natural living systems. Our device certainly contributes to prevention of biohazard.What we did in laboratory was completely free of anything harmful for environment and ourselves. We disposed of wastes such as biohazardous waste properly, and we were careful with toxic material. Biohazard was not caused during our experiment.
