Building Your Company at the Intersection of AI and Biotech

When LabCentral first opened its doors in 2013, entrepreneurs didn’t have access to cost-effective wet labs and workspace to do their research and build their companies. We changed that, providing entrepreneurs with the resources to build successful companies.  

Fast forward to 2025, and life sciences entrepreneurs have a new set of challenges. They need to further accelerate their scientific discoveries with new tools and technologies, especially AI. That is why, in partnership with C10 Labs, we’ve developed a new AI BioHub and accelerator program, which we’re starting this summer.

The AI Bio Accelerator Program is a bold new collaboration between LabCentral and C10 Labs designed to help founders bridge the gap between AI-driven insight and real-world biotech validation.  

Over a fast-paced twelve weeks, participating teams will dive deep into refining high-impact theses—whether honing an existing idea or conceiving an entirely new approach—while enjoying seamless access to two world-class ecosystems. At LabCentral’s 700 Main Street facility in Kendall Square, founders will tap into shared wet-lab benches and instrumentation to turn computational models into experimental data. Meanwhile, C10 Labs will provide fractional AI engineers, cloud infrastructure, and venture-studio expertise to accelerate prototyping, technical de-risking, and business strategy development. 

We’re seeking pre-seed to seed-stage ventures—solo founders or small teams—who’ve begun customer conversations or crafted foundational IP but may not have raised significant capital. Perhaps you’re a computational biologist who needs a few sprint-length wet-lab experiments, or a life science innovator looking to partner with AI experts to bring a novel diagnostic, therapeutic, or platform technology to market. If this sounds like you and you share our passion for AI-augmented discovery, this cohort program is for you. 

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis until the cohort kicks off, so we encourage you to apply early. Simply tell us about your team, your technology, and the market problem you intend to solve via our online form (linked here). There’s no single “perfect” profile; our goal is to curate a class of complementary founders whose collective expertise and ambition will elevate every project in the room.  

To help you decide if the program is right for you, we’ll be hosting a series of virtual information sessions and in-person networking events alongside C10 Labs in the coming weeks. These gatherings will offer you a chance to meet program leaders, hear from prospective mentors, and get an insider’s view of the resources and community that await you in the AI Bio Accelerator. Keep an eye on our website for dates and RSVP details. 

If you’re ready to take your AI-first biotech venture from concept to validated proof-of-concept—and ultimately to fundraising success—the AI Bio Accelerator Program is your launchpad. Join us as we accelerate discoveries that will transform human health.
