Over at Nature’s SpotOn, Rayna Stamboliyska asks the question: “How do we make DIYBio sustainable?”
Check out her review of funding strategies in the DIYbio community to-date, including:
- membership fees (e.g. Biocurious)
- fee for service (e.g. workshops at Genspace)
- grant funding (e.g. MadLab UK)
- crowdfunding (e.g. Open PCR)
- commercialization (e.g. Amplino)
Thanks Rayna!
