Mario Gabiati

Since 2015, Mario Gabiati has been providing teachers, science professionals, entrepreneurs, and curious individuals in the San Francisco Bay Area access to cutting edge scientific tools to pursue their goals in the biological and physical sciences.  With the aim of building robust educational and entrepreneurial communities everywhere, Mario has worked here in California as well as in Brazil, Mexico and France to help people just like you bring science-powered solutions to problems anywhere humans and biology meet. ​

Mario runs the popular bay area fungal exploration group "Mycelial Mass", the 'East Bay Fungal Genomics' group, and represents the San Francisco Microscopical Society out of his microbiology teaching lab at Circuit Launch, a tech development space in Oakland, CA.

Join us in the main hall of this weekend at our casual microscopy corner, or check out our EB Genomics project Saturday 1-2:30p in Chanterelle.  Apply to become a lab resident and move into our lab, or send us an email at Info@mariogabiati.com today to see if we can bring the power of microbiological science to your project.
