Incubator Space

Newcastle Biomedicine runs two laboratory incubator facilities for early-stage bio-technology and life sciences companies. The facilities come equipped with basic laboratory and office space and some shared communal space (such as kitchen and networking space).

The two facilities are designed to allow commercial organisations to interact closely with university academics, providing access (at commercial rates) to specialist facilities, whilst maintaining a clear separation from university labs.

The labs in the William Leech Building (at the main Medical School) are designed for smaller, earlier-stage companies, with most companies being 2-5 staff in size; whilst those provided in university space at the Centre for Life are slightly larger and are more likely to be used by slightly more mature companies (although this differentiation is not rigidly enforced).

Whilst many of the tenants are University spin-outs, primarily from the Faculty of Medical Sciences, we also welcome tenants with no previous relationship with the University.
