Examining issues associated with people, activities, outcomes, and governance, we observe that biohacker spaces offer an alternative approach to biotechnological research outside the orthodox walls of academia, industry, and government. We explain that harnessing the full innovative potential of these spaces depends on flexible legal and regulatory systems, including appropriate biosafety regulations and intellectual property policies and practices, and organic, community-based social and financial networking. %B Technology Innovation Management Review %I Talent First Network %C Ottawa %V 8 %P 27-37 %8 02/2018 %G eng %U http://timreview.ca/article/1137 %N 2 %1 University of Ottawa Jeremy de Beer is a Full Professor at the University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Law, Common Law Section, where he is a member of the Centre for Law, Technology, and Society.
