A shared laboratory facility in Kendall Square giving early biotech companies bench space and equipment.

Program Type
Shared Lab & Incubator
Headquarters
Cambridge, Massachusetts
Focus
Early-Stage Biotechnology

Overview

LabCentral solves the single hardest practical problem facing an early biotechnology company: getting laboratory space without signing a long lease and buying millions of dollars of equipment.

It provides fully permitted, fully equipped bench space in Kendall Square, the densest biotechnology district in the world, on flexible terms.

Program Structure

  • Rentable bench and lab space with shared equipment
  • Full regulatory permitting and laboratory operations handled centrally
  • Sponsored residency programmes covering costs for selected companies
  • No equity taken for standard residency
  • Immediate proximity to Boston's investors and pharmaceutical partners

What They Look For

  • Early-stage life science companies needing wet lab space
  • Scientific founders with credible research programmes
  • Teams small enough to fit the shared model
  • Companies that will benefit from the Kendall Square network
  • Applicants for sponsored residencies are assessed on science
Notable Portfolio

Companies they've backed.

Hundreds of biotechnology companies have used the facility, many going on to raise substantial venture rounds or to be acquired by pharmaceutical companies.

Its role in the ecosystem is infrastructural rather than selective — it lowers the cost of starting a biotech company in the region.
