Shared Lab Space and Biotech Incubator in the San Francisco Bay Area
Our JLABS @ SSF story:
The first standalone JLABS incubator space is located in the Birthplace of Biotech.
Home to the first biotech companies, prestigious academic and medical institutions, cutting-edge technology firms, top-tier venture investors, and world-class scientists, the San Francisco Bay Area was the perfect place for JLABS to open its first standalone site. JLABS @ South San Francisco opened its doors to innovative life science start-up companies on March 3, 2015. Since then, JLABS @ SSF has built a world-class innovator community that attracts top entrepreneurs, researchers, investors, and industry partners all working towards the common goal of getting innovative solutions to patients faster.
JLABS @ SSF has built a non-competitive cooperative climate. This state-of-the-art 30,000-square-foot facility can accommodate 30-40 companies, providing residents with a combination of shared and private specialized lab facilities and office spaces. Value-added offerings such as operational support, educational programs, and active Resource and Investor Hubs are just a few of the offerings that position resident companies for success.
