About

Gilad Gome is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction (HCI) and biology, dedicated to democratizing biological prototyping. His primary research areas include bio-design tools, open-source laboratory automation, and tangible interfaces for living systems. Gome’s major contribution is the development of **OpenLH** (2019), an open-source liquid handling system that empowers HCI researchers, designers, makers, and bio-enthusiasts to conduct accurate, repetitive experiments with live organisms. This work, which has garnered **48 citations**, addresses a critical gap in the field by making biological experimentation accessible beyond traditional wet labs. By lowering the barrier to entry, OpenLH has enabled a broader community to engage in biological prototyping, fostering innovation in areas such as synthetic biology, bio-art, and DIY biology. Gome’s work is notable for its practical impact, providing a foundational tool that bridges the gap between digital interaction and living materials. His contributions are instrumental in shaping the future of bio-integrated design, where technology and biology seamlessly converge.
