Science Laboratories of Practical Education
We believe microbiology will have a greater impact on our way of life in the next 20 years than microprocessors have had in the last few decades. However, educational programs and for-profit labs do not support the microbiology technology inventor without significant corporate or academic sponsorship.
Our Solution: SLOPE
We combined the community and resources of Circuit Launch—the Bay Area’s premiere electrical hardware development hub—and a full suite of microbiology equipment and staff that has spent years launching projects from biohacker spaces.
We have created SLOPE, the launchpad for your next world-changing biotech idea.
Our Location at Circuit Launch
Our partner Circuit Launch offers an entire suite of professional tools to physically build your technology while maintaining an office or hot desk. Our collaboration with Circuit Launch provides entrepreneurs with affordable space, equipment, and a community of other inventors like themselves.
Microscopy Programs
We have partnered with the San Francisco Microscopical Society to offer regular microscopy classes, a microscope lending program, and a place for society members to work and share their discoveries with the world! Through this program we reach 900 middle and high-school students in over 30 states each semester!
DNA Analysis & Project Support
We have a full DNA analysis lab and trained personnel so you can add this powerful technique to your arsenal. We analyze samples sent to us from all over the country, and have identified a few unique organisms! Email us to learn how you can send samples for analysis, join a class, or receive professional training in modern DNA analysis techniques.
