The Pasadena Bioscience Collaborative (PBC) is a non-profit organization created to support the growing biotechnology industry in the San Gabriel Valley. It promotes and supports new company formation by providing low-cost, high quality WetLab space and equipment to early start-ups. The PBC also provides specialized education and training for the biotechnology workforce, as well as access to experts in business fields such as intellectual property, law and financial planning.
The PBC is a result of planning by individuals from many different sectors - governmennt, education, non-profits, and private industry. California State Senator Jack Scott and Pasadena Mayor Bill Bogaard spearheaded the initiative, resulting in a collaboration that includes the following key organizational partnerships:

Since 2004, the Pasadena Bioscience Collaborative has grown into a 3,000sf WetLab Incubator, which has allowed entrepreneurs to develop proof-of-principle for their particular applications. Any Intellectual Property developed is solely owned by the companies themselves.
As a nonprofit organization, the PBC has access to donated equipment and is, therefore, able to provide early start-up companies with high quality facilities and equipment at low or no cost. The WetLab currently offers shared use of hoods, incubators, autoclave, freezers, cooloers, ice machine, DI water, chemical storage and standard laboratory benchtop equipment. (View Equipment List)
Trained interns are available from the Biology Technology Program at Pasadena City College as well as from California State University, Los Angeles and California State Polytechnic University, Pomona.
Prioximity to Oak Crest Institute of Science allows collaboration with scientists and research projects in environmenntal sciences. The scientists of Oak Crest have visiting faculty status at Caltech.
Get Your Company Started with the Help of the PBC's WetLab Incubator.
The Pasadena Bioscience Collaborative (PBC) invites life science entrepreneurs to consider our Incubator as the next home for their business. The PBC is a non-profit facility that provides a shared-use WetLab at a reasonable cost.
As you move your venture from the invention of a new scientific concept to proof-of-principle, the PBC will provide the tools you need in a collaborative scientific environment. Each PBC tenant has access to scientific equipment and appliances on a shared-use basis, along with a dedicated work station that is your business home. We also provide access to laboratory technicians and training resources from local universities and colleges.
Being housed with a variety of other bioscience companies allows you the opportunity to collaborate with other tenants. The PBC also provides you with access to a host of outside collaborators from a broad range of scientific and business disciplines to provide additional guidance on the path to commercialization.
Because you are your own business within the incubator, you maintain complete ownership of all intellectual property you create. Furthermore, the PBC provides wireless high-speed internet access and basic office equipment in order to better support your business.
If you are ready to move from an academic laboratory, your home, or another business, the PBC may be the best place for the start of your new company. Below is a summary of the benefits we provide.
