This facility will be utilized for all of ISI\u2019s mission driven research, education, outreach, conservation and entertainment driven programming.\u00a0 The dome area itself will house plants, invertebrate animals and habitats from all over the world for the enjoyment, education and inspiration of visitors. This transparent structure will be where folks can come and not only experience breathtaking biodiversity and relaxing atmosphere, but also see real world scientists conducting real world field experiments.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the facility will be home to our cutting edge invertebrate focused biotechnology and conservation institute.\u00a0 There, ISI and our partners will conduct ground breaking research in invertebrate biology, biochemistry, genome sequencing, insect chemistry, bioprospecting and drug discovery research.\u00a0 We will also be conducting work in invertebrate and natural habitat conservation and breeding endangered and threatened invertebrate species from all over the world to help restore their populations and habitats.\u00a0 At the ISI Biotech Biodome, we will bring our research to the world through regular presentations by our staff scientists and experts from ISI and other institutions.\u00a0 The facility will also host educational and nature themed entertainment events by ISI and other similar organizations.<\/p>\n

Of course the ISI Biotech Biodome will also be home to ISI\u2019s big annual \u201cBugfest\u201d!<\/a><\/strong><\/span> This event will bring together other organizations, vendors, artists, performers and other fans of invertebrates, science and nature.\u00a0 There will be a host of activities, research talks, entertaining presentations on various science topics and demonstrations for holding LIVE giant invertebrates from all over the world!\u00a0 ISI\u2019s bug fest will also host food trucks, food vendors, our world class invertebrate themed gift shop and \u201cInsects as Sustainable Food Ingredients\u201d cooking demonstrations and insect based food!<\/p>\n

The ISI Biotech Biodome will also be available to host scientific and nature themed conferences, trade shows, concerts and other events consistent with ISI\u2019s mission.<\/p>\n

The biodome itself will also be ideally suited to conduct plant and invertebrate field studies with much better efficiency, better precision and lower cost than having to travel to remote areas with the environmental conditions we will provide.\u00a0 Visitors of the biodome will be able to see scientists conducting real world research as it would be done in say a jungle or remote desert habitat.<\/p>\n

These facilities will not only be utilized by ISI scientists and educators, but will be made available for other researchers and organizations to rent for their work and related events. These facilities will be unique in the world and world-class, so our institute will attract similar organizations from around the world to work with and support us.\u00a0 It will also attract economic development in the form of hotels, restaurants and other entertainment related businesses who will want to benefit from the large flow of visitors and researchers at ISI\u2019s Biotech Biodome.<\/p>\n

As the ultimate mission of our institute is to inspire CONSERVATION of the natural world through invertebrate focused research, educational, outreach and entertainment activities:\u00a0 Our biotech biodome facility will also be utilized to house and breed rare, threatened and endangered invertebrates and plants from around the world to help understand their biology, their environmental needs and even to breed larger numbers for re-introduction into their restored natural habitats.<\/p>\n

The ISI\u00a0 Biotech Biodome will also be an ideal environment for shooting movies and various nature documentaries.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The ISI Biodome will also have a world-class gift shop offering the world\u2019s largest stock of invertebrate themed merchandise:\u00a0 <\/a><\/strong><\/span>invertebrate specimens (properly labeled!), invertebrate FOSSILS!, insect and invertebrate themed jewelry and Art! , Entomology books, Nature books, Science books, educational materials and starter entomology and insect collecting and rearing kits and cages for all ages!

The biodome will be a 15 acre transparent dome with several separate internal sections, each containing the proper humidity, sunlight, soil and temperature cycling conditions to mimic various natural habitats.\u00a0 This will include several different climate controlled habitats to mimic environmental conditions for everything from deserts to rainforests to cold and temperate forests. Scattered throughout will be various cages and displays containing live invertebrates from all over the world native to those habitats.\u00a0 The habitats will be populated by plants and various invertebrates as well as other creatures such as frogs and reptiles who typically make those respective habitats their home in the wild.<\/p>\n

The combination of the biodome, rearing facilities and cutting edge genomics, chemistry and drug discovery capabilities, ISI\u2019s Biodome labs will have substantial capabilities available no where else on earth under one roof.\u00a0 These facilities being all at one location will enable research which could not be done between organizations at different locations, and we will be able to do it better.\u00a0 We will be able to conduct real-time extractions of DNA and biomolecules from organisms we are rearing.\u00a0 We will be able to educate the public about our research directly through our public outreach programming at the biodome.\u00a0 Rearing our own research organisms (and hundreds of species at a time!) will allow us to not only more deeply study their biochemistry, but if we discover valuable compounds, we can re-sample the organisms to obtain more.\u00a0 This is often not possible for field bioprospecting studies.<\/p>\n

These facilities will not only be utilized by ISI for it\u2019s research and programming.\u00a0 The biodome itself will be a tourist attraction open to the public.\u00a0 Also, ISI will offer it\u2019s facilities to rent or for use by partners, collaborators, and sponsors.\u00a0 Other researchers will be able to rent our one of a kind invertebrate rearing facilities for invertebrate focused research.\u00a0 Biotechnology company startups and others will be able to rent labs within our facility as well.\u00a0 Our genomics, chemistry and other facilities will offer fee based serviced to outside researchers.<\/p>\n

Some of the amenities our research facilities will contain include:<\/p>\n

1) The Genomics Core (Illumina, PacBio and Nanopore sequencers for various projects, PCR, qPCR, -80 freezers and liquid nitrogen dewars for storing genome quality specimens, backup\/emergency power (generators\/maybe natural gas ones), autoclaves, etc., and<\/p>\n
