Our Mission

The BioBuilder Educational Foundation is a 501c3 nonprofit committed to access and equity

BioBuilder is dedicated to helping students

  • access tools and programs that unlock their potential as life science innovators
  • acquire skills to be able to build with biology, and
  • invent/imagine ways synthetic biology can make the world better.

Established in 2011 from an award-winning teaching team at MIT, BioBuilder takes a comprehensive approach to the emerging field of synthetic biology, providing exceptional programming available for students and educators alike. For students, there is the chance to integrate biology and engineering through practical, hands-on lessons and club activities. For educators, there is the vital opportunity for relevant professional development that fosters new methods of teaching designed to engage and inspire the young scientists in their classrooms. For industry leaders, we provide training programs that raise awareness among the students just starting to think about their academic and career paths, and also upskilling workshops for current employees looking to gain insight into modern life science techniques and approaches.
