Making of the labs in

Netflix Biohackers


SCIENCE & DNA TEASER


​OUR INVOLVEMENT

 In January 2019, the production team reached out to Jérôme Lutz, who is deeply involved since 2015 in Synthetic Biology Community through his Ted Talk, with SynBio.Info, his Munich meetups as well as the previous lab construction of the[x] Biokitchen in 2018.

Jérôme then involved David Ng, the technical mastermind behind many DIY Biohacking devices, such as the 5$ DNA Replicator and the Arduino based Corona Detector,  and Edward Perello, founder of online CRISPR Service Desktop Genetics and globally connected Biotech expert. 

After inspiring discussions and expeditions through the Munich Biotech ecosystem, the screenwriters developed the thrilling story. We helped make the story technically as accurate as possible and connected the professional lab industry to create the Lorenz Lab and involved the global Biohackers Community to create Jasper's Biohackspace in June 2019.

Now in 2020, Jérôme Lutz founded the Smart Lab Architects to turn those cinematic visions into real-world laboratories. The first step is to make labs digital, then automate them and once that's done, create AI Labs.

WELCOME TO THE LABS

We have inspired, consulted and equipped the labs in the Netflix Original Series Biohackers

Prof. Lorenz' Home Office Lab

ENTER FUTURE LAB
Prof. Lorenz has her own private laboratory in the basement of her mansion. This is where she does the experiments that she cannot do at the university. 

Our goal was to build the most futuristic, automated and sexy laboratory one could imagine. 

Jasper's Biohackspace

ENTER BIOHACKSPACE
Jasper has his own laboratory in the woods, where he does his own experiments. ​Biohackspaces became popular over the past 10 years as professionally equipped laboratories are just too expensive and cannot be afforded by the DIY Biohacker Community.

Thus, we reached out to our friends from the biohacking community and got them involved in creating this biohackspace.

Prof. Lorenz has her own Lorence Excellence Center, where she runs her official studies. 

In reality, the labs aret located in LMU Biocampus Martinsried in the south of Munich and are used by students and professors for their regular research.

The thriller is an exciting story asking comprising the latest ethical and moral questions, includes homages to biohacks performed by real biohackers and labs that have run on the latest, real technology. 

The goal of Christian Ditter was to create a fictional story 5-minutes-into-the-feature. Developed and shot in 2019, the Corona Virus set some of the
dialogues and story elements 5 months into the past.
