Researcher Safety in Everyday lab

Each undergraduate experiment is completed in the synthetic biology labs of Department of Biotechnology in National Chiao Tung University. The labs strictly follow all the institutional, local, and federal regulations. Prior to working in the standard level 1 facilities, all members are required to attend mandatory experimental and laboratory safety training, which provides a general understanding of primary and secondary barriers in the lab. All access of non-members is restricted by the usage of IC card. The laboratory head of biosafety is BoBo (balderdash034@gmail.com).
