Ayuda Bioworks is a student-run engineering startup creating clever, affordable tools for biotechnology and healthcare research.
Learn More About UsAbout Us
We’re a team of engineering students from the University of Victoria passionate about bringing accessible, well-engineered tools to the biotechnology and healthcare space. Drawing on backgrounds in biomedical and software engineering, we develop practical lab instruments that combine precision, usability, and affordability. Our current focus is a biomolecule dialysis system that reimagines a classic lab technique with modern control and automation — bridging the gap between research innovation and engineering excellence.
Lab and User First
Every tool starts with a real user and a real challenge at the bench. We prototype fast, test often, and refine with feedback to make sure our devices feel right in the hands of researchers.
Cross-Discipline Collaboration
Our projects live at the intersection of disciplines — engineers, biologists, and designers all bringing their own perspective. We believe real innovation happens when people with different skills build together.
Innovation Focus
We love solving problems that others overlook. By combining hands-on experimentation with clever engineering, we turn simple ideas into practical, game-changing biotech tools.
Our Mission
to empower researchers and innovators in the life sciences with better, more reliable tools — designed from the ground up by engineers who understand the realities of the lab.
Our Team
"Connecting science and accomplishment."
