GaudiLabs and Hackteria.org are co-organizing GOSH2016, the Gathering for Open Science Hardware in CERN Geneva. A growing number of people around the world are developing and using Open Science Hardware, and we want to help build a self-organising community to drive change in open science. Four days of inspiring exchange and skill share with PublicLabs, Backyard Brains, OHANDA, openQCM, Experiment.com, Lifepatch.org and many more.

GaudiLabs joined the “How to grow (almost) anything” program, directed by George Church, professor of Genetics at Harvard medical school. The pilot class is based on a distributed educational model with FabLabs and Hackerspaces around the world. We try to combine knowledge on bio-engineering and nano-technology with the creative and hand’s on biohacking approach. Topics include DNA Nanostructures, Darwin on steroids, 3D Bioprinting, Engineering the Human Microbiome and many more. Let’s grow it. Here you find our project page.

Learning about fundamentals of molecular life-sciences, from molecular cell biology to synthetic biology with a pan european biohacker team.  Assemble novel plasmid vector and subsequently transform it back into E. coli. All genetic elements are naturally occurring in E. coli species and will merely be rearranged using synthetic biology technology. No new genes are introduced to the species. The modifications are thus called cis-genetic and are free to use outside of the laboratory in many countries.
