Safety

2008 Safety Outline:

  • Would any of your project ideas raise safety issues in terms of:
  1. Researcher safety
  2. Public safety
  3. Environmental safety
  • Is there a local biosafety group, committee or review board at Washington University in St. Louis?
  • What does this review board think about the safety of our project?
  • Do our new BioBricks (ones that we have created) raise any safety concerns?
  1. If yes did we document them with the Registry?

Ethics

  • Ethical issues of Synthetic Biology in general
  • State the few concerns that there are concerning our project

Future

  • What we tried to do?
  1. What actually happened?
  • Ways to improve, redo parts of our experiment differently
  • What further should be done to our end product to further its development, related back to what we initially tried to do?
  • What are possible biofuel applications and how could our system be used to improve existing biofuels?
