Bio Innovation Hub
Helping early-stage biotechnology companies grow and thrive.
Supporting the biotechnology industry to accelerate research, development and commercialisation through access to laboratory facilities, research infrastructure and a knowledge ecosystem.
A new hub for biotechnology innovation
La Trobe University’s Bio Innovation Hub is a newly refurbished building and purpose-built laboratory and office facility to support the growth of early-stage biotechnology and agritechnology businesses. Designed for early-stage companies, access to PC2 laboratories and shared equipment enables you to focus your resources on research and development in a community of like-minded companies, leading academic researchers, a future workforce and world-class research infrastructure.
Critical infrastructure for industry
La Trobe research platforms and facilities
We could not have been here without support from La Trobe. La Trobe has provided access to essential resources that would have been prohibitively expensive for a start-up company
Through the University’s talent we have ready access to certain skills and capabilities, which we can scale up and down as required
If we had moved into an autonomous space, we would have to buy everything. The fact that we can utilise the facilities and support services here is a godsend.
