The start of something big.

At MBC BioLabs, we take care of the maintenance, upkeep and logistics, so you can obsess over the science and nothing else. Here you will be part of a community — a family of science-minded founders learning, experimenting and growing together.
What do you get?

Space

From bench space to freezer storage to lab supplies, we set you up with everything you need to succeed. Beyond the lab, you’ll find meeting rooms, a kitchen and a la carte services that make this feel like home.

Equipment

In life sciences, having access to cutting-edge equipment is a huge research advantage. We want to ensure that no matter what you’re working on, you’ve got the very best tools at your fingertips.

Partnerships

A unique part of our offering is narrowing the gap between adventurous innovators and seasoned industry pros. Our distinguished roster of corporate partners are actively engaged and keen to help — whether it’s consulting on data, providing valuable customer insight, or sharing go-to market strategies.

Golden Ticket Competition

The Golden Ticket program is another example of how our partners help promising companies. With one Golden Ticket, entrepreneurs win a year of bench space and the opportunity to forge beneficial relationships with corporate sponsors.

ALL YOU CAN EAT

Our AYCE “All You Can Eat” Program is an unlimited supply of some basic consumables that are included with lab bench rentals.

Lab Mart

Your one stop shop for all your lab needs. Find an array of lab products that you can purchase by the item or pack in our very own version of a vending machine: simply fill out a form, grab your item and go!
