Biodesign Town Hall at The Tech Museum of Innovation

The intersection of biology and design - often called biodesign - is revolutionizing the consumer experience of biotechnology. In the last five years, dozens of biotech companies have launched consumer products. These include new biotextiles for fashion, foods made with cellular agriculture, cosmetics and fragrance made with synthetic biology, and even new building materials grown with microorganisms.

Join us for a town hall style conversation with leaders in biodesign. We’ll swap stories and insights about how the future of synthetic biology blends biotech with design.

The conversation will be set against the backdrop of the Tech’s new permanent Biodesign Studio exhibit. As a fun bonus, the Tech curators will guide us on a behind-the-scenes tour of how the experiences were developed to successfully inspire a new generation about the possibilities of biotech. Included are free museum tickets and a hands-on bacterial inks workshop.

Programming will start at the museum at 11:30am and end at 3:30pm.
