The Conconi Family Biodevice Foundry at UBC is a shared use core facility bridging microfabrication with biotechnological and biomedical applications. It co-localizes a traditional cleanroom environment with bio-functionalization, characterization, rapid prototyping and machining for design, fabrication and characterization of microscale biodevices that support cutting-edge life sciences research. Access to the foundry and to all instruments is available to qualified users from UBC, other education institutions, or industry, and we welcome researchers from all disciplines wishing to explore uses of the facility.
