The new BioGarage at Aalto Design Factory offers students, young researchers and everybody interested the opportunity to test wild ideas and experiment freely using synthetic biology and related technologies in a GMO-lab environment.

Open-minded and cross disciplinary science is key to unlocking the potential that nature has to offer. Engineering biology enables the sustainable use of waste streams and CO2 as a carbon building blocks for synthesis of materials, food, fuels, chemicals and medicines.

Join us to hear how grassroot science can foster innovation and start-up creation! Our inspiring keynote speakers are:

• Thomas Landrain, founder of the biogarage in Paris, La Pallaisse (https://lapaillasse.org/), and the Pili start-up (https://www.pili.bio/1/about-us).
• Leslie Mitchell from New York University, creator of Synthetic yeast 2.0 http://syntheticyeast.org/leslie-mitchell/

You will also have the opportunity to visit our lab space and see a live demonstration of DNA by this year’s iGEM teams.

BioGarage is a Synbio Powerhouse initiative sponsored by Jenny ja Antti Wihuri Foundation. Other supporters include Aalto University, VTT, Sitra Fund.
