Chief Operating Officer at Bakar Labs at UC Berkeley

About

Are you a Singapore-based startup developing a research-intensive innovation in life sciences, biotech, chemistry, materials science, energy, climate technology or engineering?

At UC Berkeley’s Bakar Labs, we provide the facilities, expertise and connections that early-stage companies need to advance their technologies. Our offering is particularly relevant to startups seeking to develop or validate a product, access specialised R&D resources, explore commercialisation pathways or build connections in Silicon Valley or beyond.

What we offer:

  • Equipped laboratory and office space

  • Shared facilities and specialised scientific equipment

  • Technical and commercialisation resources

  • Startup programmes and a community of science-based founders

  • Connections with researchers, advisers, investors and industry partners across UC Berkeley and the wider Bay Area ecosystem

Since opening in late 2021, we have supported over 75 companies in the life sciences and climate tech spaces. During their tenancy, these companies have collectively raised more than US$1.3 billion in venture capital and government contracts. Note: no UC Berkeley affiliation is required!
