This presents three major opportunities to the scientific community: 

​

1) The BIIS will become a research focus itself by demonstrating how to create new biological systems that are developed some combination of faster, cheaper, replicable, more exhaustive, standardized, more analyzable, or parameterizable.

​

2) Second, the operators, technicians, postdoctoral researchers, graduate, and undergraduate students all gain expertise and training on a state-of-the-art piece of equipment that only exists in a handful of institutions around the world. 

​

3) Finally,the BIIS will be available to a network of worldwide users as a “design-build-test”service fully integrated into a freely open software interface. This will democratize exclusive, high end biology protocols and standardize many artisanal experimental protocols.
