No issues of researcher safety, public safety or environmental safety were raised during Heidelberg's iGEM 2009 project. We only worked with non-hazardous, non-infectious, commonly used and accepted bacteria strains (SCS110 and DH5α) and mammalian cancer cell lines (U2-OS, HeLa and MCF-7). When working with toxic chemicals (e.g. ethidiumbromide or estrogen), nitrile gloves, and white coat were worn. We specifically reserved an area of our lab for work with ethidiumbromide. All work was conducted in a biosafety level S1 laboratory. Rules of best microbiological practices were applied.

Please REWRITE the content of this page so that it refers to team debrecen, change the questions as well. All in all it should be 3 paragraphs long.

Would any of your project ideas raise safety issues?

No issues of researcher safety, public safety or environmental safety were raised during Debrecen's iGEM 2010 project. We only worked with non-hazardous, non-infectious, commonly used and accepted bacteria strain (DH5α) and mammalian cancer cell lines (HeLa). When working with toxic chemicals (e.g. ethidiumbromide or estrogen), nitrile gloves, and white coat were worn. We specifically reserved an area of our lab for work with ethidiumbromide. All work was conducted in a biosafety level S1 laboratory. Rules of best microbiological practices were applied.

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

According to Hungarian Federal law, there is a project leader for biological safety issues for the group that advised us, who was glad to take the responsibility for our project's safety issues (name). There is also a biosafety supervisor who supervises biological safety university-wide (names)

What does your local biosafety group think about your project?

All material handled or distributed are non-hazardous and non-infectious. It agrees with all safety standards requested biosafety level 1. Therefore, they fully supports the work done by this iGEM team. also very committed to supporting the team and has become an advisor.

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

No - we developed synthetic (dbd?) for use in mammalian cells. These parts are completely harmless, no matter what organism they are transformed / transfected into.
