  • 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?
All research conducted at Washington University (medical school and main campus) is under the supervision of the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research (OVCR). This office is responsible for all concerns pertaining to research and publications produced by the university. Among other things, our lab must comply with the Environmental Health and Safety Policy and Procedures laid out by the OVCR.

  • 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?
