What ideas would you come up with if you hung out with a molecular biologist, a mechanical engineer, a computer programmer and an artist - and happened to be sitting next to a lab?
You might find yourself saying, "Hm... I never would have thought of that."
Biological and genetic knowledge is growing fast. The way forward in an increasingly cross-disciplinary area is through collaboration. Recognizing this need, we brainstormed BioCurious, a collaborative labspace where, together, we learn, socialize, research and make the tools that will change the change the face of biotech. BioCurious puts biotech in the hands of Makers, creators with the passion requisite for innovation.

Curious about Biology? Find out more at the new biology collaborative lab space where citizen science moves out of the classroom and into the community. Following the successful example of hackerspaces such as Noisebridge, Langton Labs, Hacker Dojo, and co-working spaces such as the Hub, we're pleased to offer the first Bay Area space dedicated to Non-Institutional Biology. Got an idea for a startup? Join the DIY, "garage biology" movement and found a new breed of biotech. Meet cofounders and friends, and make things you'd never dreamed possible."
We want to keep the monthly cost below $200 for individual members. Exact location and monthly membership fee haven't been set yet. We're using the kickstarter fundraising platform to cover initial equipment and real estate costs so we can open the doors to a community lab in the bay area.
There might be some option in the future for corporate members, something like access for a team, or renting out a separate room, that would cost more than $200. We are planning around the figure $200 for individual monthly membership costs, but I, personally, hope to get enough deals on equipment and real estate to keep the cost at $150. Or below. If possible...
