Internal Clients: Resident vs. Affiliate
The BioCenter is dedicated to providing a high level of attention and service to its client companies. Internal Client Membership in the BioCenter is month-to-month. Resident companies will receive business and/or lab space within the facility as well as access to all the services the BioCenter provides. Affiliate companies will have access to services only and will not reside within the incubator facility. However, affiliates do have access to conference rooms and shared facilities.


�Access to a flexible biotech ready facility [BioCenter] means our portfolio companies can hit the ground running and don't waste time and money on facility infrastructure, capital equipment and laboratory services. Our money goes directly to advancing the science.�
