New biotech businesses are moving into Long Island City and we believe there is both an opportunity and responsibility for a community lab to ensure the neighbourhood residents understand the work that is being done in those companies through hands-on events related to biotechnology, and public forums discussing the social impact of biotechnology.
Do you want to help us achieve our mission?
Our lab is more than just a teaching space and a place to run a gel. It's a community of individuals following their passion for science. Biotech Without Borders aims to make the practice of biotech accessible to everyone. Some just want a brief experience, but others may want to develop a project or conduct an exploration of their own.
You might not have a use for a lab and just want to support our mission in this case consider supporting us on Open Collective.
We want to promote safe access to laboratory space. If you have any questions please do not hesitiate to contact us. Below are the minimum requirements to start a project in the lab:
No project? No problem. Come to a class/event for inspiration or chat with another member. Sometimes it takes having the tools at your fingertips before you can really start to articulate an idea
We want your project to succeed. If our facilities don't have what you need to complete your task, please reach out. It's possible other members are also interested in adding to our capabilities
