Steps for researcher or lead membership

If you are interested in doing your own research project at the lab, or are a family who wants to use the lab for experimentation and/or research, the first step to becoming a member is to submit your project proposal. To ensure safety of the labspace, we check and approve each project at SoundBio Lab.

You can find our project proposal form here. Please complete it to the best of your ability. If you are unsure about your proposal, please reach out to us. We're here to help.

Once you've submitted your proposal, you can send us an email at info@sound.bio to schedule an in-person meeting at the lab. We want to say hello, show you the space, and fully understand your research needs. This way we can ensure that we have all the equipment necessary to help your project be a success.
