The BioHub

Driving the Bioindustrial Manufacturing Revolution in Central Massachusetts

The BioHub will give companies in Central Massachusetts shared access to the equipment, process development, and trained people to run fermentation at pilot scale — so a product invented at the bench can be made here.

What we're building

Infrastructure

Scale your process

Screening from 100 µL to fermentation at 100 L, with process development at every step. Screening and contract fermentation run today through WPI; shared pilot capacity is in build-out.

Innovation

Build the equipment

The MBI Builder's Lab, a 4,500 sq ft space where process-technology startups will build and test new bioprocess hardware. Build-out underway.

Workforce

Train your team

Competency-based tracks in bioreactor operation, remote monitoring, and downstream processing. In development with Worcester-area colleges.
