Since 2010, Genspace has provided Biosafety Level 1-compliant lab space to independent researchers, scientists, artists, designers, entrepreneurs, hobbyists, teachers and students. In 2017, we moved to a new facility in Sunset Park where we can provide even more space and resources to our members. Starting in February 2018, we support several Community Projects for members who want to work on group research.
