Our mission is to provide science education and an accessible lab space for the public including people who want to pursue research. We served an average of 70 members a month. Members range from high school students (and the exceptional middle grade student) to those who have retired, from student to post-doc. Many have a non-biological background such as software or electrical engineering. Some work on science fair projects, use the lab to learn biology or to do research on an idea. Some based on the work done here have been approved for grants and have started companies. 3464 0 7000 We have educational Programs. BioCurious provides a range of classes, lectures and workshops for our members and the general public. They include beginner level classes that teach the basics of biology and lab skills to more advanced classes that include lab practice with sophisticated techniques. This participatory approach to learning gives our members and the general public a safe place to work with cutting edge biotechnolgy tools. 1887 0 0 As part of our mission to democratize biology, we have created a number of community projects that are free and open to the public. Community projects at BioCurious allow any interested person to experience the process of science and learn so laboratory techniques. This provides the foundation so they can pursue their own ideas in the lab. These projects are typically run by PhD-level scientists, meet in the evenings, and are very well attended. A primary focus of community projects is hands-on work in the lab. This provides an opportunity to learn lab skills in a friendly environment so everyone can contribute. We also provide Zoom access to lectures so that people from around the world can attend and contribute. These open forums allow anyone to participate in scientific projects. These projects can lead to publications. For example, we have a community project doing DNA editing with CRISPR, for example. This project is very popular in the community and gives the participants valuable lab experience. 0 0 0 A Biocurious board member has a place on the board of Momental Foundation, a US based non profit. 0 0 0 170050 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 CA X Joe Bamberg 6502696228 3108 Patrick Henry Drive Santa Clara CA 95054 Innokenti Toulokhonov Director 5.0 0 X 0 0 0 Julian Ramirez Director 5.0 0 X 0 0 0 Ulrike Pflueckhahn Director of Cell Biology 8 0 X 0 0 0 Rudy Flach Board member 2 0 X 0 0 0 Jay Hanson Chairman of the Board 8 0 X 0 0 0 Maria Chavez President 15 0 X 0 0 0 Eric Espinosa Secretary 8 0 X 0 0 0 Joe Bamberg CFO 8 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 202636 0 0 0 35133 3000 237769 Class Income 611310 6734 0 0 6734 0 0 0 0 6734 0 0 0 0 0 0 244503 0 0 6734 X 41 41 14556 14556 2335 2335 1313 1313 164569 164569 2042 2042 Class Expenses 3570 3570 0 0 Educational supplies and materials 1781 1781 0 0 Taxes, Licenses, Dues Subscriptions 2229 0 2229 0 Other business expenses 0 0 0 0 1572 130 1442 194008 170050 23958 0 17301 68052 8965 8979 0 0 88609 0 88879 88609 115145 165640 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 115145 165640 0 0 115145 165640 115145 165640 50495 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 170584 182811 184578 195935 238025 971933 8887 1136 0 6734 16757 0 0 0 0 0 0 179471 183947 184578 195935 244759 988690 0 0 10000 0 35111 45111 10000 0 0 0 35111 45111 943579 2 1 3 0 0 0 2 1 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 179471 183949 184579 195935 244759 988693 0.95437 0.98834 0.00000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 16586 0 0 16586 72023 0 0 72023 0 0 0 0 88609 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b We are an organizationwhich has expanded greatly over past three years run by volunteers.
