MBC BioLabs

MBC BioLabs is a San Francisco-based provider of flexible lab space for biotech companies. Its official site describes it as "flexible lab-space for ambitious biotech companies tackling today's biggest challenges," offering access to cutting-edge equipment, expert operational support and a community. The company traces its origins to the QB3 Garages, launched in 2006 as the first technology incubator in the UC system, and to the 2013 transformation of a San Francisco warehouse into MBC BioLabs. Its founding partners include Johnson & Johnson Innovation, LLC and AbbVie.

According to MBC BioLabs' About Us page, the organization began with an idea and a repurposed utility room: in 2006 it launched the QB3 Garages as the first technology incubator in the UC system. Of the initial six residents, four raised Series A venture funding and a fifth was acquired for $25 million, all within the first two years. As demand grew, the team leased and completely transformed a warehouse in San Francisco in 2013, resulting in MBC BioLabs. The company describes its model as an alternative to long-term leases and capital-heavy commitments, offering move-in ready labs, a flexible model and built-in support.
