    Bioscience startups need specialized lab space — they can’t just get
    going at Starbucks.

    Scientist working

    Bakar Labs provides space sized for your needs. Start with just the number of benches you need — even just one, we’re flexible. Private lab space is also available. Fridges, freezers, and other equipment can be rented on demand, and time reserved in fume hoods, flow hoods, and clean rooms.

    Equipment

    In-house Shared Equipment

    Tenants have reserve time on a wide range of R&D equipment through our reservation system, enabling the leanest of operations.

    Berkeley Campus Cores
