RisksDo the biological materials used in your lab work pose risks to the safety and health of team members or others working in the labYes. Vibrio cholerae can pose a risk to team member safety if ingested, handled improperly, or improperly disposed of (causing accidental exposure). Do the biological materials used in your lab work pose risks to the safety and health of the general public, if released by design or by accident?There are no plans for release of anything harmful. The safety practices, including proper disposal, were designed after consultation with a V. cholerae and bacterial pathogen expert, [http://lifesciences.byu.edu/~rar5 Dr. Richard Robison], BYU. Do the biological materials used in your lab work pose risks to the environment, if released by design or by accident?There are no risks associated with the environment. Do the biological materials used in your lab work pose risks to security through malicious misuse by individuals, groups, or countries?We believe our safety practices in the lab prevent malicious misuse by individuals, groups, and countries. If your project moved from a small-scale lab study to become widely used as a commercial/industrial product, what new risks might arise? Also, what risks might arise if the knowledge you generate or the methods you develop became widely available?There would be no known risks. Our chassis organism is a BSL 1 E. coli. Of course caution must be used in any case. The bacteriophages we used also must be tested before any human use.
