Natick Bio-Incubator Cuts Ribbon on Third Facility

ABI-LAB, a bio-incubator and accelerator focused on life sciences, cut the ribbon on its third facility in Natick, MA, bringing total facility area to 112,000 square feet. As a working habitat, ABI-LAB fosters a variety of startup disciplines across stages of development. It utilizes a shared services model.

The shared services model supports technical excellence and a creative atmosphere throughout the research process, according to ABI-LAB. The facility’s build-to-suit dedicated laboratories range from 900 to 2,500 square feet. The 35,000-square-foot ABI-LAB 3 contains 10 laboratories.

“Massachusetts is the global hub of life science innovation thanks to our robust ecosystem of hospitals, research institutions, leading companies, and incubators like ABI-LAB,” said Massachusetts Economic Development Secretary Yvonne Hao, guest speaker at the ribbon-cutting. “Through the Mass Leads Act, Massachusetts is reinvesting in the tools and resources necessary to support growth in this vital industry, and we are grateful for ABI-LAB’s expansion in our state with this new facility.”
