Incubator Services
Launch Your Biotech Venture in a Fully Equipped Research Environment
The Biotech Innovation Core(BIC) offers affordable, flexible wet-lab space for early-stage biotech startups and established companies looking to expand their research capabilities. Our incubator provides access to a fully equipped laboratory, state-of-the-art instrumentation, and experienced technical staff, giving you the resources you need to focus on developing your science and growing your business without the expense and commitment of building your own laboratory.
A Lab Ready for Your Research
Our incubator space provides access to all of the equipment and infrastructure of the Biotech Innovation Core, from essential day-to-day laboratory equipment to our advanced, state-of-the-art instrumentation. Whether you are just getting started or need specialized equipment as your research progresses, you can access the resources you need in one established research environment.
All laboratory equipment is maintained and managed by BIC staff, helping ensure that instruments are properly cared for, operational, and ready for use.
Expertise When You Need It
Our BIC staff bring extensive experience across molecular biology, microbiology, sequencing, flow cytometry, automation, and other biotechnology applications. Staff are available to provide training, help troubleshoot, and offer technical guidance as your research needs evolve.
A Flexible, Cost-Effective Alternative
Building and maintaining a lab is a major investment, especially for an early-stage company. Our incubator model allows you access to laboratory space and specialized equipment on a month-to-month basis without the substantial capital investment. With the BIC maintaining the equipment and laboratory infrastructure, clients can focus their resources on their research rather than the upkeep of a laboratory.
Whether you need a place to conduct your first experiments or a laboratory environment to support your company's next stage of growth, the BIC can provide a flexible foundation for your research.
Connect With the Next Generation of Biotech Talent
Located within the NDSU research environment, the BIC provides incubator clients with the opportunity to work in close proximity to students and researchers who are developing the skills needed to enter the biotechnology workforce. This creates opportunities to connect with emerging talent and become part of a broader research and innovation community.
More Than Just Startups
Our incubator space is designed with early-stage biotechnology companies in mind, but you don't have to be a startup to take advantage of the space. Established companies, independent researchers, and other organizations looking for flexible laboratory space and access to advanced equipment are also welcome.
