Biotech Campus

Biotech Center

In the break between two microscopic worlds, they stand side by side in the garden for a moment, as if they’ve accidentally slipped out of the experimental setup. Coffee bubbles like an impatient reactor, while somewhere a device beeps that really should be quiet. “Growth or contamination?” someone asks into the air. A shrug, a smile behind safety goggles. Then it’s back to the experiment — as if time had briefly opened up, like a culture plate.
