Biotech Incubator and Coworking Lab Space in Cambridge
Our JLABS @ Lab Central story:
Johnson & Johnson Innovation established JLABS at the LabCentral facility in the Kendall Square biotech hub which includes the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). JLABS @ LabCentral marks the first East Coast expansion for JLABS, which operates with the same open-innovation, no-strings attached approach as it does at all other JLABS locations.
As a Founding Sponsor of LabCentral, Johnson & Johnson Innovation selects high-potential innovators for the shared incubator space who are focused on promising science that addresses important unmet medical needs.
LabCentral is a nonprofit organization, designed to be a “one-stop-shop,” offering premier, fully equipped laboratory space, plus the infrastructure and support that emerging life science companies need to transition from a science/technology-focus to a successful commercial-stage enterprise. As part of this agreement, Johnson & Johnson Innovation also has an on-site office to facilitate collaboration with other start-up biotech companies located at LabCentral.
JLABS @ LabCentral includes opportunities for BLUE KNIGHT™ residency. Blue Knight is a joint initiative between Johnson & Johnson Innovation – JLABS and the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA). The collaboration aims to stimulate the innovation and incubation of science and technologies that may improve health security and response by supporting companies focused on public health threats and emerging infectious diseases.
