Bio Foundry
Australia's first community lab for citizen scientists
BioFoundry is Australia’s first open-access molecular biology laboratory, offering everyday citizens the opportunity to collaborate in scientific research and development. BioFoundry runs courses for enthusiasts and curious amateurs, helps house and facilitate the realisation of startups, develops the practical skills of undergraduate science students and exists as a focal point of open-source research in Australia.

Our Philosophy
BioFoundry exists to democratise science by lowering the financial/technological barriers reinforcing the publish-or-perish status-quo that currently defines the scientific industry. As such – you may find our unique approach inspires that scientific curiosity inherent to you and every other human out there!
