Labshares-Galen St
About
Labshares Galen Street is the Watertown location of Labshares, a shared lab incubator that gives early-stage biotech companies equipped lab space without the cost of building their own. The brand-new facility is purpose-built for life science, and Labshares leases all four floors of the building to create a concentrated biotech community. Members can choose open benching or private lab suites and get to work within days using the company’s shared equipment.
Labshares’ broader operation includes more than $15 million in lab equipment, onsite reagent supply and a procurement platform with discounts, plus a team experienced in maintenance, calibration, safety and permitting. Its all-inclusive model is meant to cut upfront capital spending and let companies scale in place. The Watertown building adds premium amenities such as a rooftop event space, an executive boardroom, a modern fitness center and secure bike storage.
