Indie Lab is a non-profit 501(c)3 laboratory operating in Richmond, Virginia. Indie Lab also functions as a co-working space, where membership includes access to a suite of chemical and biological analysis training and equipment, along with additive manufacturing tools at Hack.RVA In 2018, Indie Lab became the headquarters of two revolutionary startup companies, TMM Disruptive Advanced Materials and Librecycle! Both are run by Prof. JoEl Meeks-Matous and Dr. John Slavin. ABOUT US: Indie Lab liberates science, allowing otherwise untested ideas a platform for life. Our lab is a communal location for all of the experimental sciences to gather, swap ideas, and create experiments/products using shared lab equipment. Richmond boasts more students than laboratory positions, lacks independent research infrastructure, and Indie Lab fills these gaps. We offer an environment of encouragement and collaboration to the academically focused researcher and budding citizen-scientist, alike. Through a membership system, people will have access to equipment not feasible individually. Science serves the people, and Indie Lab embodies this spirit: allowing everyone the opportunity to know, explore, and create. Indie Lab is a fledgling start-up, so we need your support to make our communal lab grow!
