Dr. Hackett supervised our research at all times. She has participated in several lab safety training courses at Johns Hopkins University, Harvard Medical School, and The Jackson Laboratory. She also has over 9 years of full-time bench research experience, primarily at Johns Hopkins University (Carol Greider's lab) and Harvard Medical School (Steve Elledge's lab).
We avoided the use of hazardous chemicals as follows:

Additionally, Dr. Hackett poured all agarose gels, mainly to maximize the use of class time, but this also eliminated the exposure of students to boiling agarose.
The yeast we are working with, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is not pathogenic and we are working with its genes and with the well characterized BFP, GFP, and YFP from jellyfish and mTangerine, mCherry, and mGrape1 from coral. Furthermore, we are collaborating with experts in synthetic biology at Johns Hopkins.
