Before boarding, go check out below some tricks that will be useful in the course of your journey!
Trick 1 - The Mode Switcher
Red: Default mode (Veteran, no support needed!)
Yellow: Tour mode (Summary of each and every page in one single map)
Green: Construct mode (A reference diagram of our genetic construction)
Welcome to HKUST 2016 iGEM team - Troika!! We made a simple tour to make navigating our website a breeze! Follow us!

Potentially harmful when inhaled or swallowed. Can cause eye and skin irritation in rare cases. | We acquired from Professor King Lau Chow's lab in HKUST | As a chassis for experiments and cloning |
| E. coli (JW0336-1) |
Group 2 | http://cgsc.biology.yale.edu/StrainRpt.php?ID=106809/ | Potentially harmful when inhaled or swallowed. Can cause eye and skin irritation in rare cases.. | It was brought from the E. coli Genetic Resource Center.- | As a chassis for experiments and characterization |
Mainly focusing on the investigation of the properties and the future usages of the tri-stable switch, we did not have to release it to the field. In the meantime, prioritizing safety of our project, we strictly followed all the instructions from the iGEM Headquarter and our school to avoid causing any potential risks.
Health, Safety & Environment Office (HSEO) is responsible for safety regulations at our institution, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, HKUST. All of the team members absolutely complied with the guidelines from the HSEO so as to ensure the safety inside and outside the laboratory.
The biosafety guideline of our institution can be directed to here
The regulations that govern biosafety in research laboratories in Hong Kong can be directed to here
This year's HKUST iGEM team members received safety training before the start of our project. Topics that we learned about in the safety training are as follows:
1. Biological Safety
2. Chemical Safety I/ Chemical Safety for Laboratory Users
3. Chemical Safety II/ Hazardous Waste Management
The link to the laboratory safety training requirements of our institution (The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, HKUST) can be directed to here
