Bakar Bio Labs
Part of University of California, Berkeley (with QB3)
About
Bakar Bio Labs is UC Berkeley's flagship life-science incubator, operated with QB3 inside the 40,000+ sq ft renovated Woo Hon Fai Hall (the former Berkeley Art Museum), housing up to ~50 startup teams. It is unusual among top-tier incubators in publishing its rates openly — $1,600/month for a 6-ft BSL-2 bench, $600/month per office workstation, plus a $100/person/month membership — and lets companies start with a single bench and scale up. Tenancy is not limited to Berkeley spinouts, but admission is competitive: applicants pitch a selection committee, and accepted teams get campus core-facility access, an extensive shared instrument park, mentoring programs and investor showcases.
