                                         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 Dean of College of Engineering promised to provide us with a headquarter, including a meeting room and a lab. To meet the lab standard of Taiwan CDC (Center for Disease Control), we contacted 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 PI, Pror. Ng, we successfully certified our lab to BSL-1, safety level one. Mrs. Liu gave us some lab security instructions and advice. Each of our members should attend the biosafety lab training program.
