Membership

Membership is billed monthly and stacks on top of your Frontier Tower membership — you only pay for the access you need:
  • $190/mo — Frontier Tower membership. The required base; it gets you into the building and the tower community.
  • + $160/mo — BSL-1 lab access. Bench access, equipment booking, and standard (Biosafety Level 1) microbiology and molecular work.
  • + $250/mo — Tissue culture access. Adds the tissue culture suite.
For example, standard bench work is $190 + $160 = $350/mo, and full access with tissue culture is $190 + $160 + $250 = $600/mo. No long-term commitment — see the membership page for the full breakdown.
Access to shared lab spaces, equipment, community events, and workshops.
No long-term commitment is required. Memberships are billed monthly.
Yes. Memberships can be cancelled with notice provided in advance.
It’s a quick, stepwise process: become a Frontier Tower member, submit the Biopunk lab application, pass a short project review and safety quiz, set up your lab membership, and onboard your materials. Start on the membership page, or go straight to the lab application form.
Onboarding timelines vary but are designed to be quick and clear.
