London Biohackers Membership

To become a full biohackspace member

You are welcome to use the Biohackspace as a guest during our open evenings for a short time to decide whether you would like to join us. If you use the Biohackspace often, or if you are planning to use the space for genetic modification or to use it unattended, we request that you become an inducted member of the biohackspace. There are three steps.

Step 1: Join the Hackspace

Our room is provided by the London Hackspace, so you should join the Hackspace before joining us. Click here to join the Hackspace -- minimum suggested membership is £25 a month.

Step 2: Join the Biohackspace

Biohackspace Membership cost is minimum £2 a week (£10 a month) but feel free to pay above this if you feel membership is worth more to you.

We have a Gocardless setup to join the Biohackspace. Click here to join us.

Members are entitled to 24/7 access to the London Biohackspace laboratory subject to undergoing the required safety training (see below).

Step 3: Become an inducted member

As part of our licensing requirements, you must take a safety induction before you can use the lab unsupervised. These take about 45 minutes, and are organised on an as-needed basis. They typically take place on Tuesday or Wednesday evenings at 7:30. To find out when the next induction will take place, contact us (preferably by email or Slack).
