Community Lab in Baltimore / Washington DC area

[shamrock]

I'm trying to gauge the level of interest in forming a community lab ala biocurious and genespace in the Baltimore / Washington D.C. area.

Look at genoblasters, I think they're down around there

I know a few university of maryland kids who would be interested.  unfortunately, the dude who started a umbc club is racist and ignorant of homebrew biotech.  Biomore was cool while it lasted, but I don't think there have been serious attempts recently, but I know a few labs that would be interested.  Most cost-effective thing is the design of bioinformatics tools, plenty of skilled US teams in the last IGEM had submissions like that.  Message me if you start anything.

Wasn't JCVI trying to setup an amateur biohacking lab in that area? IIRC, it fell through due to lack of interest.

I'd be interested in a community lab for the DC area and I'm sure several folks at HacDC would equally interested.

William, the "racist guy" you are referring to did not start an iGEM group at UMBC. I did. He is only a member, and he has no control of how the group is going to run.  He plans on leaving very soon because of a conflict that happened recently.   

 

(To clarify, this group is opened to anyone who has an interest in synthetic biology.)

I would definitely be interested.  Perhaps the discussion could be broadened to survey what people would like to see in this community lab.  How should it be the same, or different, from, say, Biocurious and Genespace, or some other similar place?
