[DIYbio] Re: Starting a Nonprofit Biotech Laboratory in Richmond, Virginia

Classes are a great way to raise money. I help run some classes at Biocurious out here in the Bay Area.
One class that has been working well and is great for beginners is The ILIAD project: http://www.the-odin.com/the-iliad-project-kit-find-new-antibiotics-at-home/
Having a significant source of income before you start renting your own place is key to success.

Hope everything works out.

Hey everyone! I feel like I'm late to the party - I'm an undergraduate student at Virginia Commonwealth University and I'm in the midst of starting a community science space called Indie Lab RVA in Richmond, VA.


We currently have a small area housed in our local makerspace but we're looking to expand. My team has been looking into what is required to become a lab (materials, certifications, insurance, etc.) and I wanted to ask the DIYbio community what steps you took to start your own biotech space.

We're currently hosting small workshops to bootstrap and raise money before we rent our own space. Any recommendations on small DIY experiments? What chemicals/materials are essential?

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. You can email us at indie...@gmail.com. Thanks!
