Tufts Launchpad | BioLabs (TLB) is a 14,000 square-foot, fully licensed co-working lab space designed specifically for early-stage scientific ventures. Conveniently situated on the university's Boston Health Sciences campus, TLB offers a prime location for biotech innovation. 

Resident companies gain access to cutting-edge core facilities, including mass spectrometry, animal testing services, and more.

In addition, via its core facilities, Tufts offers a wide range of technologies, expertise, and specialized services to the research community. An extensive array of shared research resources provides investigators with access to specialized equipment, advanced technologies, expert staff, and technical services—often on a fee-for-service or subsidized basis—to enhance research quality, efficiency, and innovation across scientific disciplines.
