Re: [DIYbio] Re: Community Lab in Melbourne, Australia

We're making exciting progress and I'm thrilled.

Hi Abdenour, I sent you an SMS to the number on your contact page, did you get it? Would love to meet.

Hi Ryan, thanks for the support! Will do.

You're welcome Andrew and really excited to hear more as it sounds like there's a lot going on in Melbourne. I suspect each biohacker/maker space will have its own flavor (which I'm really looking forward to see how each one evolves). As an example, biocurious pulls from a lot of technical talent from silicon valley both in software and hardware which has lead to some pretty interesting mashups (the Quantum Biology group being one) and Counter Culture labs is really rich with local SynBio and Molecular biology talent from UCSF, UC Berkeley and also the local biotech clusters, which continues to lead to interesting talks and of course the Vegan Cheese Project (which was a collab between the two).

Keep us posted how you guys evolve and we're currently in the process of trying to put together an alliance of biospaces to share best practice, advice and etc, Llewlyn Cox is leading the charge and we'll include you all in that group! 

All the best,

Ryan

Hi Andrew, there are other similar labs around Melbourne, i met some of the people who are involved in a couple of them. But all of them are based around 3D printing exclusively as a making tool. In our lab, and due to my own interest and background, we are more interested in digital manufacturing technology in general, 3dprinting, cnc, laser and also biorinting and "biodigital fabrication", which basically is engineering principles applied to growing biological things using digital fabrication technology mentioned above. 

Our website is http://masteringdigitalfabrication.com/, you will find all the necessary information to get in touch with me there. Let me know, when is the best time for you to meet up.

regards

Hi Abdenour,

    I was just checking back here to follow up a lead and saw your post. Chris is part of the BioHack Melb facebook group, check it out.

Really interested to look into your fablab. Do you know of any other similar endeavours/projects/start-ups?

Hi Christopher Pendlebury 

I am based in Melbourne too, and i have started a Fablab workshop in Alphinton, near Fairefield. I am a biologogist by formation, but have been working in the vocational sector both as trainer and rto manager since migrating to australia.

After seeing what synthetic biology can accomplish i am convinced that digital fabrication tools (bioprinters & wetlabs equipment in general) are the way to go to setup a DYIbio lab, in ourlab we are tryinh to have an integrated approach to fabrication using digital fabrication tools to print biology.

Even enginnering concepts and processes are being adapted for biofabrication for example (iGEM, BIOBRICKS, Openwetware), we do have the lab setup already and i would be very interested to meet with you and discuss the prospect of collaboration. This is our website, where you can find our contact: http://masteringdigitalfabrication.com/

Cheers

Hi everyone,

I'm embarking on a project to build a community lab in Melbourne,
Australia, with a focus on biology, biotechnology and bioinformatics.
Because of some of my contacts, the bioinformatics aspect could
potentially include high-end NGS analytics.

The lab will be bootstrapped, and funded by memberships and
sponsorships. I would very much like to know who would be interested
in being involved with this project, and who would like to join when
it is up and running?

Cheers
Chris
