Re: [DIYbio] Needed: a list of ways that DIY bio and community labs can positively impact human health

BIoCurious has many Community Projects with an Open Science focus, the
three most active that might apply to your request are:

DIY BioPrinter: meeting for 4 years now with a goal to design an Open
Hardware BioPrinter and a system for DIY communities to explore this
technology. The project is open to collaboration via web conference
with project participants in Vancouver B.C, Florida, and even Brazil
joining in. Project wiki

DIY Microscope: Project to hack a DNA sequencer into a lab microscope
project and will be shared for others to do the same, access to less
expensive microscopy can positively impact many projects. Wiki

Real Vegan Cheese: Engineer a cultured food to eventually reduce the
carbon impact of the diary industry. Wiki -

Counter Culture Labs in Oakland is working on Open Insulin and attempt
to design a generic (and lower cost) form of insulin.

I'm not sure the depth of information you are looking for but I'd be
happy to fill in details for the projects I'm on (those listed above).
