Part of Nevada Center for Applied Research (NCAR), University of Nevada, Reno

About

The Biosciences Entrepreneurial Lab (BEL) is a 2,200+ sq ft turnkey wet lab incubator inside the University of Nevada, Reno's Applied Research Facility, run by the Nevada Center for Applied Research. Founders can take a monthly shared membership or a dedicated independent bench with no long-term lease, and fees are negotiated case-by-case under a Facilities and Equipment Use Agreement (max one-year term, renewable). The real draw is that tenancy unlocks NCAR's 30+ university core facilities — genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, electron microscopy, nanofabrication cleanrooms and the Pronghorn HPC cluster — plus UNR student/intern talent pipelines.

11000 Cedar Startup Incubator (Case Western Reserve University)

US
Cleveland

11000 Cedar is Case Western Reserve University's four-story, 80,000 sq ft startup incubator directly across from CWRU's main campus in Cleveland's Innovation District, with roughly 30,000 sq ft of wet lab space plus dry labs and offices. Licensing scales from a single 8-foot shared bench up to large private labs, so pre-seed founders and funded startups can sit in the same building as 30+ other health-tech ventures. Its differentiator is proximity: members get significantly discounted access to CWRU core facilities, faculty expertise and student talent, with Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals and the Cleveland VA all within a mile.

ACC Bioscience Incubator

US
Austin

The ACC Bioscience Incubator (ABI) is Austin Community College's ~9,500 sq ft wet lab incubator on the Highland Campus (the former Highland Mall), billed as Austin's only dedicated bioscience startup incubator. Founders lease benches in one of four shared labs — or one of two exclusively-leased 400 sq ft ISO 8 cleanrooms with gowning rooms and piped gas — and get access to roughly $1.6M in shared instrumentation including an Illumina MiSeq, AKTA Pure FPLC, Beckman Optima ultracentrifuge, BD Accuri C6 flow cytometer and QuantStudio 3 qPCR. It's non-dilutive (companies keep 100% of IP and equity) and plugs startups into ACC's technical student workforce, three miles from the UT Austin campus.
