Bakar Labs

Berkeley City Council unanimously voted Tuesday to take the first steps toward plans to stimulate and retain startups in the city. 

Over 250 guests celebrated the grand opening of UC Berkeley’s Bakar BioEnginuity Hub at Woo Hon Fai Hall on May 3.

UC Berkeley’s Bakar Labs has partnered with the Cystic Fibrosis, or CF,  Foundation to hold a competition that will award lab space and facilities to startups focused on finding a cure for cystic fibrosis through gene technology.

UC Berkeley virtually launched the Bakar BioEnginuity Hub Tuesday, an initiative aiming to empower budding entrepreneurs in the East Bay and campus alike.
