History
Since 2009 we have served the greater New York area by providing educational outreach, cultural events, and a platform for science innovation at the grassroots level. Genspace was founded by a group of science enthusiasts who come from different professions - artists, engineers, writers and biologists. Unlike traditional institutions, our diversity is our strength and the source of our innovation. For a reasonable monthly cost, members can pursue a wide variety of biotechnology-related projects that can be commercial, artistic, or just fun.
Specialties
Genspace is the first-ever community biotechnology laboratory, a Biosafety Level One facility in Brooklyn, New York, where we offer hands-on courses to the public, provide extracurricular experiences for students, and encourage scientific entrepreneurship, particularly in the fields of molecular and synthetic biology.
