A bioscientist collective and independent think tank at the frontier of neuroscience, aging, synthetic biology, and AI in biomedicine. We drive open innovation through open science projects, collaborative R&D, and radical transparency.
BioCommons Lab (BCL) is a transdisciplinary research collective and open science initiative reimagining the future of biotechnology. We work at the intersection of neuroscience, aging, synthetic biology, and AI in medicine—driven by the belief that scientific discovery should be open, equitable, and community-powered. We advance this vision through open-access publishing, open-source tool development, and transparent, collaborative research. From shared datasets to modular experimental platforms, our work aims to make cutting-edge science reproducible, accessible, and globally distributed. By bridging the lab bench and the bio-commons, BCL builds public infrastructure for modern biology—designed to empower researchers, citizen scientists, and the broader open science community.
Accessible tools for brain imaging, behavior, stimulation, and brain–behavior interfaces in transparent vertebrate models.
Exploring cellular and behavioral markers of brain aging and interventions to restore cognitive function.
Genome rewriting and evolution experiments using engineered circuits and modular selection platforms.
Decision-making in health systems. We advocate for responsible AI that complements human insight and scientific integrity.
BioCommons Lab is fiscally hosted by Open Collective Europe, enabling transparent funding. We collaborate with academic laboratories, industry partners, and citizen science communities to accelerate scientific discovery and co-develop open tools for modern biology.
We welcome new partnerships with research institutions and industry teams that share our vision for open, equitable, and collaborative science. Please reach out if you see alignment with our work.
