The Human Practice Story
UCL iGEM has addressed the subject of Human Practices with three central questions. The answers to which not only give us insight, but guide our research to best benefit the world.
1. What does the industry need?
2. How can we understand the impact of our project on a sociological scale?
3. How do we engage the general public to understand the problem and the solution?
In order to fulfil our safety requirements for the competition, we made sure to assign a Safety Officer within the team who was responsible for communicating any iGEM safety responsibilities or guidelines between the iGEM Safety Hub and team-members. This included filling out and submitting the 'About Our Lab' form in June before the subsequent 'Final Safety Form' in September. The Safety Officer was also responsible for creating and submitting departmental Risk Assessment Forms for the project and conveying the guidelines to the rest of the team before any lab work was conducted. The completed forms can be downloaded below:

Final Safety Form
Organisms and Parts Spreadsheet
Risk Assessment Form
While most of the materials used within the project fell within the designated White List, we still decided to Check-In about certain Parts for approval before using them in our project. These approvals included:
1-
2-
3-
