How Can We Help?
The Victoria Makerspace is a biology community lab, founded by Derek Jacoby and Thomas Gray in 2010,[1] and was one of the first do-it-yourself biology labs, following the establishment of BioCurious and Genspace in the US.[2] The lab has taken part in the FBI DIY biology summit in Walnut Creek, California in 2012,[3] the first Canadian DIY Biology Summit in 2016,[4] and the iGEM synthetic biology competition in 2014 with a project on preventing dental decay.[5]
