• Create an interdisciplinary, participatory and open space (Collaborative) to share knowledge and experiences, as well as generate critical perspectives in the field of biological research.

• Encourage interdisciplinary artistic and scientific experimentation, as well as the collaborative production of knowledge, processes and tools for biological exploration.

• Promote spaces and actions of awareness, dissemination and exchange of knowledge and experiences to facilitate the access of the population to the knowledge, processes and tools of bioexploration and diagnosis generated.
