We met our goal! Now what?

A huge THANK YOU to all our supporters! The whole team is so excited to take this project to the next level (insert dancing Minions here).

It's great that we exceeded our funding goal, because some of the DNA in the FreeGenes plates may have to be resynthesized- all our attempts at transformation failed. We can't reveal details yet, but a strategic partnership with a DNA source will allow us to do this in a very cost-effective manner. The extra money will come in handy for this, and also for synthesizing any other enzymes that, in the future, might be critical for a purpose that aligns with our mission to use biotech for the good of people and the planet.

We can't wait to share our results with you...

About This Project

Equitable access to biotechnology is a global challenge in low-resource settings where there is limited ability to source, safely transport and pay for expensive, temperature-sensitive reagents. Enzymes are the workhorse tools of biotech R&D. Can we turn our community lab into a hub of decentralized enzyme production/distribution and empower others to do the same worldwide with a step-by-step guide with best practices and starter tools?

Blast off!
