Each PBC tenant has access to scientific equipment and appliances on a shared-use basis, along with a dedicated work station that is your business home. We also provide access to laboratory technicians and training resources from local universities and colleges. Being housed with a variety of other bioscience companies allows you the opportunity to collaborate with other tenants. The PBC also provides you with access to a host of outside collaborators from a broad range of scientific and business disciplines to provide additional guidance on the path to commercialization. Because you are your own business within the incubator, you maintain complete ownership of all intellectual property you create. Furthermore, the PBC provides wireless high-speed internet access and basic office equipment in order to better support your business.
