For iGEM 2009 teams are asked to detail how they approached any issues of biological safety associated with their projects.

Specifically, teams should consider the following four questions:

Q Is there a local biosafety group, committee, or review board at your institution?

A Biosafety committee of our organization accepted our aplications.

A They think our project is leagal.


Q Do any of the new BioBrick parts that you made this year raise any safety issues?
