Biomanufacturing for Inclusive & Impactful Innovation
A biofabrication research institute bringing impactful & inclusive
bioscience research to life.
open-access collaborative biofabrication playground.
We provide creatives, scientists, engineers and communities access to low-cost research-grade facilities to bring their projects to real-world applications.
Our mission is to support and ecosystem of healthcare and life-science projects at the intersection of material biomanufacturing. We believe anyone can contribute to the field of scientific discovery and provide a hub for researchers to invent,build and translate projects into impactful functional outputs.

Our Biofabrication Laboratory
Our importance lies at delivering substantially faster and flexible timelines from basic research ideas to scalable working prototypes.
By bringing interdisciplinary people together to experiment
and accelerate the translation of pioneering life science research into real-world solutions. We can foster a community of hands-on experimentation, shared-learning and accelerated de-risked innovation we can address critical challenges in health, sustainability and society.
Our Story behind Lifefabs ->
We collaborate with traditional research labs to recover, advance and scale high-impact projects that traditional pipelines miss due to risk, scale or institutional inertia.
Translational Platform for Spin-Outs:
We serve as an agile launchpad for PhD graduates to spin out their innovations 50% faster than traditional start-ups.
Collaborative R&D:
Our Labs actively partner with leading organisations to foster cross-sector project development to accelearate R&D.
.
We are committed to activating impactful research projects that directly engage local communities, offering accessible science education, and equipping both novices and experienced researchers with the skills to work safely and effectively at
the bench.

Interdisciplinary Research Labs: Collectively Transforming Ideas
By having our local-resident researchers work alongside academics our projects gain better understanding of their contexts, local contraints and translations, which helps build a community of ideas that solve real issue and become useful in their contexts.
To achieve our mission of supporting impactful research developed by all, we house three research labs as working groups.

Bring your project to life with us.
Serving as an accessible incubator for early-stage biodesign concepts, researchers can save money and time, preventing long, drawn-out funding accelerators. Instead, this energy and time can be devoted to the development and translation of ideas.
