Our Philosophy
BioFoundry exists to democratise science by lowering the financial/technological barriers reinforcing the publish-or-perish status-quo that currently defines the scientific industry. As such – you may find our unique approach inspires that scientific curiosity inherent to you and every other human out there!
We happily accept equipment donations (especially unwanted scientific glassware and equipment).
If things are broken, we like to fix them and are always happy to take broken lab gear.
