− | This is the third year since the establishment of iGEM | + | This is the third year since the establishment of iGEM NCKU-Tainan team. We have raised the awareness of synthetic biology in our campus. NCKU President Dr. Jenny Su and the College of Engineering decided to provide with us a headquarter which contains a meeting room and a lab. To meet the lab standard of Taiwan CDC (Center for Disease Control), we made contact with Mrs. Liu Yee Fen, the contact person of Center for Occupational safety and Health and Environmental Protection, which is the authorized unit in NCKU responsible for lab safety and security. With the assistance of our instructor Dr. Ng, we successfully certified our lab to BSL-1 safety level one. Mrs. Liu gave us some lab security instructions and advice. Each everyone of our members should attend the biosafety lab training program. |

Since our applied design must be tested with the constructed bacteria, all of our team members will be exposed to the lab. We therefore decided that the whole team should be certified to do the experiments in biosafety level one lab. Team members from biotechnology have already passed the training session, and the rest of team members have passed the training online course. We believe that learning safety and security knowledge lower the risk when we conducted experiments inside a lab.</br></p> |
