Hi Scott -
-- I think Sushi-gate is a good example of they type of public health benefit that can be created via citizen access to genomic technologies. In that case, citizen science leading to a more secure food supply chain.
This led to Boston doing its own investigation:
In 2009, this initial work by high schoolers happened at Rockefeller University rather than a community lab, but a role community labs are well-suited for in the future. (Genspace grand opening was in 2010.)

Hello all,--I thought I would throw this question out to the greater DIYbio community. As a backgrounder, Public Health Agency of Canada is holding a DIYbio Summit in Ottawa on March 16th. Derek Jacoby and I, amongst others, are invited panelists at the summit. I believe it will be web-casted (details to follow).We are tasked with putting together a list of ways that DIY bio and community labs can positively impact human health. What existing DIYbio projects have already met this challenge and what new ideas do you think are possible ways that community biolabs can contribute? Are you working on any open DIYbio projects in this arena? Links would be greatly appreciated.some topics: health and the environment, biosensors, antibiotics discovery projects, health-related DNA barcoding, water quality biosensors, genomics, microbiome, waste treatment.Cheers,ScottOpen Science Network, Vancouver, BC
