The safety of the team

The biosafety is defined as: “set of measures and provisions, some of which are sufficient to be the subject of a law, whose has the main objective the human , animal, vegetal and environmental (...) protection, against the other elements that aren’t of strictly of biological origin, but are able to form risk and aggression.” According to a Chilean biosafety manual of the National Fund for Scientific and Technological Development and the National Commission for Scientific and Technological Research (both are Chilean entities)

Because one of the principal worries of the team was keep intact the physical integrity of each of the students, we had to take special attention to the ambit of the security inside of the laboratory

In our case, to work with genetically modified bacteria we have to considerer various aspect about the biosafety. Every time that an experiment is realized, we have to evaluate if is potentially dangerous for the human or also for the same project, so we have to take the required precautions to do the experiment. Under this same thought, every work and experiment do at the laboratory, was planned before, arguing why we have to do and which is the most secure way to do it according to the objective of the project. In the case that the experiment is carried out, there are some rules and statutes that we have to follow.

In our project to work and modify the E. coli bacteria through synthetic biology, can lead certain risks, which as scientists and team we must know how to handle. In our case, or bacteria will sense the high levels of ionizing radiation, which causes mutations, that in our case, it’s going to change color and release a lemon scent, so that the specialist knows that he or she is in a dangerous medium for his or her health, and take the corresponding precautions, like go out of the enclosure.

The students, at the beginning of the project, they are conscious of the damage that they can receive when they are working with fungus, bacteria and contaminated material. For this, they follow during this 2 years the verbatim the security protocols described above and know them so that if this happen, they be prepared.

Inside the laboratory

Because to that in the laboratory we work with differents agent that can damage our physical integrity, it was informed to the team the risk that were around us and that we could understand them, in special at our work area: The laboratory. In this classes, it was shown different security measurements that we have to take, like: The equipment that everyone had to have to handle any biological element of the laboratory. In synthesis, it was subdivided into different parts:
