Tomorrow’s lab delivered today, with the support your scientists deserve.
So you can focus on changing the world.
SmartLabs is challenging the status quo by delivering flexible turnkey lab programs to support workflows at every stage of development. Our transformative solutions include enterprise-grade lab environments, expert guidance, and the daily operational support you need every step of the way.
Modern science demands a new vision for R&D environments
The emergence of new therapies, modalities, and technologies brings a set of complex opportunities and challenges to scientific research. You need a lab that is ready to adapt and respond to any type of science.
Enabling the future of science
Leverage our unique model – empower your research teams, retain control over your science, and develop your intellectual property while we provide the infrastructure and operational support essential for accelerating scientific breakthroughs.
Our labs and resources are designed to intelligently adapt as research evolves and are ready in weeks, not years or months. It’s a highly cost-effective approach that fast-tracks and de-risks your development efforts.
Does this sound like a revolutionary premise? It is. That’s the beauty of it. Because like our clients, we are in the business of innovation.
Key Benefits
Rapid access
Your lab is ready in 2-4 weeks and customized to your specific scientific needs. That’s weeks, not years.
