NOTE: We are excited to announce that Genspace is open! It’s been a long, tough year, and we are profoundly grateful for our community’s support during the pandemic. For now, we’ll be open for members only with a few special in-person workshops and programs. We will continue to host some online programs for the foreseeable future, so please pay close attention to whether the class is labeled Online or In-Person before signing up!

And if you’re interested in joining the lab, please fill out the Membership Application!

Genspace is the world’s first community biology lab — a place where people of all backgrounds can learn, create, and grow with the life sciences.

Since 2009, we have served the greater New York area by providing hands-on STEAM education programs for youth and adults, cultural and outreach events for the public, and a membership program to support New York’s community of creatives, researchers, and entrepreneurs. Our programs demystify scientific processes, provide a platform for innovation, and cultivate the next generation of life sciences leaders in emerging global technologies, such as biotechnology, neuroscience, epidemiology, genomics, and many more.
