Lab/Studio

Lab/Studio is an interdisciplinary applied research & design practice merging the fields of biotechnology, materials science, design, & digital fabriction, focused on comprehensive & biologically inclusive design. At the core of our practice, we focus on human and ecological health, and its roots in materiality; its relationship to inflammation based disease, the microbiome of the built environment and its interaction with our own immune systems, and the impacts of material and product end-of-life on natural life cycles as a comprehensive framework. Informed by these interactions, we develop regenerative biocompatible materials; focused on adhesives, composites, ceramics, scaffolds, and living materials. Then, employing these materials in consumer product and the built environment through a combination of our own products and through collaborations with product designers, architects, and beyond.
