The iGEM IONIS had the great pleasure to work at La Paillasse, a biohacker space situated in Paris. It is a community laboratory open to everyone who want to try doing biology lab science. La Paillasse was created with the open source philosophy to support new form of innovation in the field of biology.
La Paillasse also aims to bring people from different backgrounds and let new ideas appear from this multidisciplinary combination.
The community of La Paillasse is composed of people from diverse background, from engineers to philosophers through designers, students and sociologists. However all those people are coming with the same purpose: to find an open space and to realize their project. Several start-ups have been created at La Paillasse, as Meiso (sensory isolation chambers), the FlyLab (innovative drones), Pili (ink making from modified bacteria) for example.
It is in this multidisciplinary environment that our team have been evolved for several months. This environment emphasized the importance of a multidisciplinary approach, it was important for us to listen to the comments of non-biologists to have another point of view on our project conception or application. La Paillasse was the perfect place to carry out a project like ours. We had a great time sharing informations with the people from the Fly Lab and attending the conferences organized by La Paillasse.
Finally our team at the fantastic opportunity to closely work with the UMPC iGEM team, impact. We shared knowledge, and got an external perspective on our project and lab techniques. We also help each other when needed,
La Paillasse also gave us the possibility to present our project to the many people that visit this buzzing place. We were pleased to share our experience with people from many organizations, such as L'Oréal, ENGIE, as well as the French Secretary of State for Higher Education and Research, Thierry Mandon.
