If you’re a scientist, innovator, or entrepreneur with a big idea in life sciences, biotechnology, or microbiology, you know that turning breakthrough concepts into reality is no small feat. The journey from discovery to market is filled with challenges – especially when it comes to finding the right space, equipment, and support to fuel your growth.
Welcome to The EpiCentre: a vibrant, purpose-built innovation hub at the heart of the UK’s renowned Golden Triangle of research. Here, we’re redefining what it means to launch and grow a science-based business.
More Than Just a Lab—A Launchpad for Innovation
At The EpiCentre, we believe that the right environment can make all the difference. That’s why we’ve created a unique ecosystem where early-stage companies in science and technology can flourish. Whether you’re a start-up with a bold new idea or a scale-up ready to accelerate your impact, our offer the perfect blend of cutting-edge facilities, collaborative energy, and expert support.
State-of-the-Art Facilities Without the Overheads
One of the biggest hurdles for science start-ups is the cost and complexity of setting up a laboratory. Purchasing equipment, maintaining infrastructure, and meeting compliance standards can quickly drain your resources before your research even begins.
That’s where The EpiCentre comes in. We provide fully equipped, modern laboratories featuring the latest scientific instruments and technology—all available on demand. Our shared lab model means you get access to everything you need, when you need it, without the heavy upfront investment. Focus your time and funding on what matters most: your research, your growth, and your vision.
Flexible Spaces for Every Stage
Our facilities are designed to grow with you. Whether you need a dedicated bench for your first experiments or a collaborative space for a growing team, The EpiCentre offers flexible options to match your needs. With breakout areas, write-up spaces, and an on site cafe, you’ll find the perfect balance between focused work and creative collaboration.
A Community Built for Collaboration
Innovation thrives in the right company. At The EpiCentre, you’re not just renting lab space—you’re joining a dynamic community of like-minded scientists, entrepreneurs, and innovators. Our open lab structure encourages networking, knowledge sharing, and partnerships that can spark your next big breakthrough.
