BioHouston Resource Center (BRC)

Wed, 07 Jan 2009 19:27:07 GMT

THE BIOHOUSTON RESOURCE CENTER Start-ups today need to generate data demonstrating the commercial potential of their products to access significant funding sources. More than ever, start-ups need access to facilities and resources to develop their projects and generate data to get to the next funding event. Without accessible facilities, start-up companies expend scarce resources on leasing and building out laboratory space, purchasing furniture and equipment, and busying themselves with starting up and managing a life science lab. Located one mile south of the Texas Medical Center, the BioHouston Resource Center (BRC) makes it easier and more affordable for start-up companies to walk into the lab and get to work producing data, by providing access to wet lab bench space, shared equipment, and the offices and tools that start-up companies need. The BioHouston Resource Center is constantly seeking lab equipment, materials, and monetary donations. If you would like to...
