A playground for biology! Featuring community-shared equipment to get started on your project and awesome people to share your ideas with!
The Huang-Hobbs BioMaker Space is a BL2 biological lab located in the basement of Building 26, 26-035. The space also has some capacity for chemical engineering projects. It includes a TC room, chemistry hood, storage space, and a lounge area at 26-033 that may be used to just hang out or share ideas about biology!
