Project
Safety
Our project is related to the detection of a human disease via a biomarker molecule found in the urine of patients with prostate cancer. Since local regulation does not allow us to work with human samples, we designed our project in a way that it can work as a proof-of-concept of a detection system and pose no risk to human health.
Lab work
During our work in the lab, we followed a series of rules to ascertain that no risks were undertaken.
Use of lab coat
Use of nitrile gloves
Use of safety goggles
Management of bacteria in biosafety cabinet
