Here is one DIY Bio Project sponsored by a university. in this case it was Sacramento state Univeristy. This was their biohacking project.

"A Sacramento State student team has developed an innovative medical device that would allow doctors to monitor bilirubin levels in jaundiced newborns without subjecting the infants to frequent and painful blood draws.

Their Biliblu Biomedical monitor won the team both a judges’ special award and the vote as a crowd favorite at the I-Corps Challenge, held Jan. 7-9 during the California State University (CSU) 28th annual Biotechnology Symposium in Garden Grove.

The I-Corps Challenge teaches students how to take biotechnology research projects from idea to marketplace. In all, 13 teams from seven CSU campuses entered the months-long competition, which began in September and culminated in the immersion weekend of the symposium."
