L’essor de la biologie à faire soi-même. LabEasy DIYBio Salon - Thomas Landrain. The latest adventures of DIY biologist Thomas Landrain. Very exiting stuff has been going on at " La Paillasse ", France's first biotech community lab. They just were awarded the "Maker" award by the OuiShare Fest in Paris and selected for a SpaceGambit grant to develop their open source bioreactor. Time to sit down for a short interview with La Paillasse president Thomas Landrain . What have you been up to since your talk at Lift last July? We've been very active on the launch of new projects. We recently finished a working prototype of an open-source transilluminator , an essential piece of lab equipement to visualize DNA in your experiments, it is 50 times less expensive than commercial solutions and you can also easily build it yourself! Since a few months, a couple of engineers from Sony work in La Paillasse to experiment on open-source biodegradable electronics.
