Hi,
-- I am interested in getting involved in biohacking in the UK, but the extent of my knowledge in genetics is an A Level in Biology, so I am a complete beginner.
Given my time constraints, I could probably only spend significant time biohacking, if I could do so from home. So I had a very fuzzy plan to create a home laboratory (fuzzy because I have no real idea of what that would entail).
However, I have been doing some reading recently and it seems that very little can be done in a home lab in the UK, due to regulations.
I am really trying to get a feel for whether there would be sufficient, interesting science that I could do in a home lab, to make it worth my while setting one up. I'm finding this difficult because I lack sufficient knowledge of what can be theoretically be done, and what is actually limited by regulation.
As I currently understand it, the regulations allow you to extract genetic material, but not to modify it, or use it to modify the genes of an organism. Is that a fair high level assessment?
I wonder if anybody could please advise whether an motivated beginner who wants ongoing, interesting, challenges could get much out of biohacking in a UK home lab.
Any input would be much appreciated.
