CREW Boston

Incubator Lab Spaces: The Cradle of Creation Where Ideas Are Born, the Modern World Workplace

Boston Harbor Hotel, Wharf Room
70 Rowes Wharf, Boston MA

Public

In the current dynamically developing world, the idea of the workplace has evolved, and the need for R&D hubs is dominant. Sharing a desk is no longer enough to start a business. Entrepreneurs and startups need a lab bench, too. 
 
Please join CREW to hear more about modern workplaces, what they offer, and how they function. Learn why and how incubator lab spaces are created to serve the needs of the current workforce. We have the pleasure of hosting a panel moderated by Kerry Hawkins, a highly active and engaged leader in the industry. Hear from the leaders of the dominant incubator hubs: Maggie O'Toole, the Chief Operating Officer, and Executive Vice President at LabCentral, Cary Ann Comeau, Senior Director of Wet Lab Operations at Greentown Labs, and Thomas Ryden, the Executive Director of MassRobotics..
 
LabCentral is a Massachusetts non-profit company founded in 2013 as a launchpad for high-potential life sciences and biotech startups. Operating over 225,000 sq. feet in Cambridge and on the Harvard University campus, LabCentral offers a network of fully permitted laboratory and office spaces for as many as 125 startups comprising approximately 1000 scientists and entrepreneurs.
 
Maggie O'Toole provides overall direction and guidance to the company's operational activities and oversees five sites. She has more than 25 years of experience in business startups working with the founders to establish a company's infrastructure, and ultimately is responsible for business management and daily operations.
