Welcome to Genespace's Open Lab Project

The Open Lab is a key step towards democratization of synthetic biology. It is the complete set of knowledge, tools, and resources required to successfully develop a thriving community biolab, all created following open source principles. The project has four parts.

  1. The Open Lab Blueprint, a website guide to launch and develop a sustainable community biolab. It includes the following components: starting up a lab, physical space, acquisition of key equipment, and efficiently implementing safety, standards and best practices, community-building, generating content and sustainability.
  2. Open source equipment development in the form of a liquid handling robot, customizable with shareable protocols.
  3. Set of IP-free fluorescent protein genes in open plasmid backbones to be made available to citizen scientists in the form of a starter activity kit.
  4. Bioglyphics, a visual protocol design tool to lower the barrier of entry to synthetic biology practice, especially geared toward visual thinkers.
We feel that the Genspace Community Lab has been a value to the New York Biotech community. With our Open Lab Project we hope to inspire others to create their own community lab.
