HYBRID LABORATORY

Our laboratory is one of a kind. On the one hand, it is a biochemical research station, set up for analyses and the manipulation and cultivation of biomaterials. On the other, it takes the form of a traditional atelier, fit for prototyping and development of new installations and equipment. BioArt Laboratories is the preferred partner for bio-based experiments and projects, due to our expertise, cooperation with other specialised laboratories and the presence of specialized equipment as well as a variety of biomaterials.

TECHNIQUES

Our laboratory is fitted with an array of equipment suitable for physical, chemical, biological and microbiological research. Examples of possibilities our lab has to offer include techniques for quantitative inorganic analysis, material research, microscopy and microbiological quantification and determination methods. Just like BioArt Laboratories itself, our laboratory is ever-evolving, changing to current social demands and the nature of topical issues.

MATERIALS

In search of the most exciting and new biocompatible materials worldwide, BioArt Laboratories decided to start its own library for materials, the ‘Materialenbank’. This library is a way to store a fragile collection of bio-based materials. The Materialenbank is still in a relatively early stage but is regularly updated with new materials and applications. Some of the bacteria in our inventory require a special environment to survive such as freezers set to -80 degrees centigrade, refrigerators, incubators, marshland, forest, etc. Examples of unique materials that you can find in our Materialenbank are Gecko Glue, Slime mold, and Luminous bacteria.

TALENT DEVELOPMENT

BioArt Laboratories focusses strongly on talent development. At BioArt Laboratories, designers, scientists, and artists are offered a platform to develop themselves on different levels: creativity, research, development and marketing. By facilitating the first steps of a professional career, we also help young professionals in their entrepreneurship. Our yearly Talent Pressure Cooker programme focuses on the creation of spin-offs by facilitating crossovers between top talents and professionals with, as the starting point, the use of innovative biomaterials.

EDUCATION

BioArt Laboratories believes that true aspiration comes at a young age. With the right stimuli, young students currently in pre-college education can become the next generation of Bright Talents.

GUIDED TOURS

Are you and your colleagues, family or friends interested in learning about all the ins and outs of BioArt Laboratories? We do guided tours for groups of guests to show them around our historical site and to get them to meet the organisation in an up close and personal manner. You will be offered a unique look inside our hybrid laboratory, hear the turbulent history of our location and breathe the clean air of the forest our premises are located in. We organise the tours by appointment and during office hours. If you are interested do not hesitate to contact us through the table below. Make sure to specify the size of your group and the date and time on which you plan to come.

EXHIBITIONS

BioArt Laboratories initiates and takes part in numerous exhibitions related to bioart. We want to create a society that combines a local, national and international audience. So they can get in touch with our new way of thinking, making, and collaborating. Together we can break through existing boundaries.
We are always interested in new collaborations with fellow pioneers. Curious about these innovative and ground-breaking processes?

EXPERT TALKS

BioArt Laboratories organizes all kinds of interesting meet-ups about the topics of tomorrow. We want to introduce you to the relevant subjects of our rapidly changing society. Not by just providing information, but by involving you in the discussion.
A very multidisciplinary and divers audience joins our debates, experts talks and experiments. Each event has its own subject and not one of them are the same.
