As more drug and device startups outsource development work, demand for wet lab space has declined, said BioStart President Carol Frankenstein. Currently, 18 companies are occupying 65 percent of BioStart’s available space.

 

The company currently has $500,000 in funding to parcel out. Since it started in 1996, BioStart has helped 125 med-tech companies launch and raise a total of $180 million.
