Membership · San Francisco
Bench space, real equipment, and a community of builders in downtown SF. Bring a project, get onboarded, and start running experiments. No institution required.
Membership
Every membership includes safety onboarding and BSL-1 project approval. Prices are placeholders, swap in your real numbers. New to the bench? Take a class first.
How it works
A short form: who you are, what you want to build, and your experience level. About two minutes.
Our lab manager reaches out to talk through your project and walk you through the space. Reviewed on a rolling basis.
Sign the membership agreement, pick your tier, and start your recurring membership.
Complete BSL-1 orientation and get your project approved. Quick, required, and what keeps the lab open.
Access, equipment booking, and the community channel. You are in. Go build.
Safety First
Open access only works because the space is safe. Biopunk Lab operates at Biosafety Level 1, and every member is onboarded before touching a bench.
