Join the biotech revolution
About Skin Open Source
Our mission
Engage with the public, especially youth, in the DIY-bio movement, where the maker and scientific communities will collaborate synergistically.
The project aims to make knowledge about the opportunities and effectiveness of using biotechnology accessible to society, regardless of social status, age, gender, etc. There are many urgent and unresolved challenges in the world, and particularly in Ukraine. We intend to popularize innovative solutions for treating burn injuries through the promotion of DIY biotech education and citizen science, building a community.
