Examining issues associated with people, activities, outcomes, and governance, we observe that biohacker spaces offer an alternative approach to biotechnological research outside the orthodox walls of academia, industry, and government. We explain that harnessing the full innovative potential of these spaces depends on flexible legal and regulatory systems, including appropriate biosafety regulations and intellectual property policies and practices, and organic, community-based social and financial networking.}, keywords = {biohacker spaces, biohacking, biotechnology, crowdfunding, inclusive innovation, innovation, law, regulation, social networks}, issn = {1927-0321}, doi = {http://doi.org/10.22215/timreview/1137}, url = {http://timreview.ca/article/1137}, author = {Jeremy de Beer and Vipal Jain} }
