Dear Representatives of the Biocurious Incubator,
I am writing to you since we are interested to expand our network to potential collaborators in the biotech/healthcare start-up scene in the US.
We, at Merck KGaA, Darmstadt Germany, are currently offering a series of potential collaboration opportunities for start-ups and entrepreneurs in the Life Science and Healthcare scene. I therefore believe, the information below might be relevant for you and your network and I would be very glad, if this would be of benefit!
What we are looking for: We like to get in contact with scientists, who have innovative hypothesis and solutions and like to inspire young scientists and entrepreneurs to tackle scientific challenges in the biotechnology business.
Our current offers: There are a series of scientific contests, which are offering you the opportunity to exchange ideas with other scientists and the chance to win up to 20,000 euros in scientific competitions on innovative solutions.
Competition 1: Generate a CHO cell clone for antibody production, prize money: 20,000 EUR.
In this competition, we invite you to clone CHO cells after a stable transfection with a plasmid DNA in order to generate an antibody-producing cell line from it. We will provide the CHO cells and the plasmids for this purpose. For the experimental work, we also offer a cost compensation of up to 3,000 euros.
The CHO cell clone with the highest antibody production yield, which will be sent to us will be awarded 20,000 euros, the second and third best clone will each be awarded 10,000 euro and 5,000 euro respectively.
Please also note that the rights of the generated CHO cells remain with the participating scientists!
All details can be found on the following website:

Competition 2: ' Game Changing Technologies ' in the pharmaceutical/chemical industry
This competition is open to all ideas and proposals on technologies that can significantly change the research and also potential products of not only the pharmaceutical, but also biotechnology and chemical industries as well.
Here, again, the scientist keeps any rights to the technology or the idea (background IP) which would be shared with us!
All details can be found on the following website:

Please also distribute this information and the sheet attached within your network.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me!
Best regards

A colleague and I started a short survey about international biohacking/diybio community and genome editing.
The survey would take about 10min of your time :) If you could finish the survey until the 28th of April, it would be great.
And please share it with everybody you know, who is active as biohackers or DIYbios :) Thank you very much!
See ya
