Our Team
Our site teams are the heartbeat of BioLabs - cultivating community within each location and across the broader innovation ecosystems we serve. Acting as a dedicated support system for our resident companies, these teams bring deep expertise in lab operations, programming, and stakeholder engagement. By lifting administrative burdens and enabling access to critical resources, they allow entrepreneurs to focus on what matters most: advancing their science.
​
Each site is further supported by BioLabs' global network, which provides centralized services such as internal procurement, finance, HR, and strategic programming. United by our mission, we work collaboratively to accelerate innovation.
​
