UC Berkeley’s world-class incubator for life science startups, powered by QB3.

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Introducing the IGI-Bakar Labs Building, an exciting partnership between @innovativegenomics and Bakar Labs.

Set to open in 2029, this new space in the Berkeley Innovation Zone will house IGI labs + offices AND expansion space for up to 14 companies that have grown beyond the startup phase.

This milestone means:
🧬 More room for scientific breakthroughs
🏢 A new home for scaling startups
🐻 Bakar Labs, at over 400,000 sq ft of space, will be the largest university-run biotech incubator network in the U.S.

“The university is an incredible fountain of discoveries and innovations and inventions, personified by the Innovative Genomics Institute, which has proven genome editing’s potential to transform healthcare, agriculture and climate adaptation,” said UC Berkeley Chancellor Rich Lyons. “Bakar Labs is an amazing public-private partnership that is crucial to transitioning Berkeley discoveries into the private sector so that society can benefit. By pairing IGI and Bakar Labs in the same building, we can amplify the successes of both.”
