Wellesley HCI iGEM Team: Welcome



Safety

CONSIDERING RESEARCHER SAFETY

The Wellesley Desyne team is a computational team, and worked on designing software to improve clarity and efficiency in designing biological parts.

CONSIDERING PUBLIC SAFETY



CONSIDERING ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY

In addition to wet lab training, the Wellesley Desyne team consulted various experts in the field of synthetic biology to help aid us in our design and implementation process. These experts ranged from synthetic biology instructors to researchers to professors, all who informed us on the ethics, biosafety, and biosecurity of putting our projects together and then testing with human users. The questions and concerns raised in our dialogue with domain experts informed our design process greatly, and also made us realize that greater education and public awareness about synthetic biology was needed. As a result, careful considering was given to how we wanted to implement our projects.

SAFETY ISSUE CONCERNS

Because we are a computational team, we did not create and BioBricks devices. Instead, we simulated the design process in Eugenie.

KEEPING OURSELVES AND OUR USERS SAFE



WORKING FOR THE FUTURE
