Financials & Growth
The acquisition of Affinivax by GSK was one of the biggest deals of the industry in 2022
Affinivax was one of LabCentral's first resident companies and grew alongside us as we expanded our model throughout the years. We are elated to celebrate this massive achievement with them and look forward to seeing their novel technology advance the life sciences and better human health.
"We were one of the first residents at LabCentral. We started with a suite with no equipment and no staff. As we matured, LabCentral helped us with our growing pains and we greatly appreciated what LabCentral was doing in the background so we could stay focused on our own growth and mission.
I would highly recommend LabCentral to young life sciences companies for two reasons. One is it's established, it's there. All the stuff you need to worry about, it's done. LabCentral takes care of the operational burden so you can stay focused on hiring the right people and testing your science.
The second thing is I can't describe enough how special this communty is when you're trying to build a young company. Biotechs need to be in Cambridge, specifically Kendall Square, and LabCentral is an adaptive and established model ready to set you up for success on day one."
