Biocurious
About
We are a complete working laboratory and technical library for entrepreneurs to affordable access equipment, materials, and co-working space; a training center for bio-techniques, with an emphasis on safety; a meeting place for citizen scientists, hobbyists, activists, and students We believe that innovations in biology should be accessible, affordable, and open to everyone. We’re building a community biology lab for amateurs, inventors, entrepreneurs, and anyone who wants to experiment with friends.
Equipment and Facilities
We are a fully stocked BSL1 lab with resources similar to a college laboratory. We have about 4000sq/ft of dedicated lab space and 3100sq/ft of office and shared space. We onsite access to an Illumina Miseq, HPLC as well PCR machines, pipettes, an autoclave and much more. We have a dedicated tissue culture lab and microscopes.
