Do the biological materials used in your lab work pose any of the following risks? Please describe.

Risks to the safety and health of team members or others working in the lab?

No, because the host that we have chosen to use (BL21) is categorized under risk factor one hence, not having much impact on human health.




Risks to the safety and health of the general public, if released by design or by accident?

Due to academic research purposes, BL21 has been modified and the virulence gene has been removed. It requires artificial modification and an appropriate environment in order for it to grow. From a scientific point of view, if it were to be released into the public environment, there is no impact on the human health.
