Platelet BioGenesis (PBG) has moved into brand new lab space in Cambridge, MA. Located next to MIT, the newly renovated property puts Platelet BioGenesis in the heart of the most dynamic biotech cluster in the world.
Platelet BioGenesis’ new space is located in Nest.Bio Labs, a unique incubator space that hosts a growing number of innovative early-stage life science companies.
"We are thrilled to have Platelet BioGenesis as one of our founding tenants,” said James Weis, CEO of Nest.Bio Labs. “As pioneers in cell therapy, this company is a standout in our carefully cultivated community of trailblazing ventures.”
The 14,000-square-foot facility includes more than 50 oversized wet lab benches as well as a state-of-the-art tissue culture and microscopy suites to support R&D operations.
“Platelet BioGenesis’ move to Cambridge will accelerate our continued growth as we scale our novel method of generating disease-free, GMP-compliant, donor-independent, functional human platelets,” said Ryan Chappell, lab manager of Platelet BioGenesis. “We anticipate hiring additional scientific and administrative personnel as we advance to the clinic.”
