Genspace first opened its doors in 2009, with the broad goal of creating a community biology laboratory where anyone, regardless of educational background, can learn the fundamental skills and knowledge they need to explore the life sciences. Our founding team was composed of a journalist, an artist, a designer, and a few scientists, and as a result, we placed a heavy emphasis on interdisciplinary explorations of science, hands-on learning, and dialog about the ethical, legal, and social implications of emerging technologies. OUR VISION Everyone is empowered to use the life sciences to explore questions and develop applications that are connected to their lives and rooted in their communities. OUR MISSION Our mission is to foster a safe and inclusive community where all people – including those from non-traditional and underrepresented backgrounds – can experientially learn, boldly create, and meaningfully grow with the life sciences.

Our core program areas are:
