Wet-Lab Plant Tissue Culture Workshop - Micropropagation Take-Home Kit Included!
Welcome to the Micropropagation Workshop! Join us at Cellsius Bio Lab (55 Grace Street, San Francisco, CA 94103) for hands-on experience in plant micropropagation. In this class, you’ll learn about the four stages of micropropagation (sterile technique and aseptic culture, multiplication, in vitro rooting, and acclimatization) and begin a culture for your own Monstera deliciosa houseplant. You’ll also understand how to source and replicate tissue culture protocols in the case that you’d like to pursue plant micropropagation as a hobby. Take home your own DIY prop drops for at-home cuttings to expedite the rooting process (included in the cost of the workshop)!
The workshop fee is $250. This covers instruction, the materials used in class, as well as your take-home kit!
Required lab attire for safety: Long pants and closed-toed shoes.

About the Instructors
Jasmine (Jas) Neal is an ASAPbio fellow and independent research scientist specializing in houseplant micropropagation. Her work explores how commercial opportunities in the ornamental plants industry can fund broader plant biology research. A passionate advocate for open science and community building, she shares her events, progress and experiments on her Substack, Jas and Olive.
She also co-leads Engineered Matter Labs, a group of independent researchers investigating the biology and morphology of spider silk. Previously, Jas was an Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Arcadia Science and co-founded Tune, where she led product and operations.
Anthony Neil Tan is an AgTech professional [UC Berkeley bachelor of science in Bioengineering]. He is currently an independent research scientist and his projects center on optimizing the cultivation of high-value plants via various horticultural methods and plant genetic engineering. His portfolio ranges from designing a plant growth chamber that won a national NASA contest to developing new plant genetic engineering tools at the U.S. Department of Energy's Joint BioEnergy Institute.
