About BARA
BARA was created to close the gap between genetic design and functionality prediction. We aim to empower young scientists and underfunded teams with the ability to test ideas in silico.
Our vision is to democratize synthetic biology. We believe access to design tools shouldn't be limited to well-funded labs — everyone, from high school students to independent biohackers, should have a way to test and refine their ideas.
BARA is built for those on the frontier — young researchers, DIY bio enthusiasts, and early-stage synthetic biologists looking to move fast with limited resources.
We're just getting started. In the future, BARA will allow users to describe what they want a cell to do — and receive ready-to-build circuits in response. If you're excited about building that future, follow along or reach out with your ideas.
