Nucleic.build

Open infrastructure
for biological research.

NucleicLabs operates a network of low-cost, BSL-1&2 laboratory space for independent scientists, academics, biotech founders, and teams that want bench space—but don't want to raise unnecessary funds or wait for grants.

001 · Thesis

The bottleneck isn't ideas.
It's bench access.

A laptop was enough to start a software company, so software ate the world. In biotech, you need a bench. You also need equipment.

NucleicLabs exists to collapse that cost. We build and operate shared, code-compliant lab space at the lowest sustainable price, and centralize the messy infrastructure so residents can spend their hours on science.

002 · What residents get

A bench, starter kit, and procurement support.

N°01
Included

Bench at $200 / mo

Code-compliant BSL-1 wet bench, shared equipment, EH&S-managed waste, autoclave access. BSL-2 capacity at planned future sites.

N°02
Included

Free starter consumables

Every new resident receives a starter kit — tips, tubes, gloves, basic media — so day one is bench day, not a purchase order.

N°03
Included

Centralized procurement

One platform, network-wide volume. Order from major suppliers at negotiated rates. Buy basics on site, at our cost.

003 · Economics

Priced as access,
not as real estate.

Comparable private incubators charge $1,500–$4,500 per bench per month. We are a non-profit; our number reflects cost-recovery, not margin extraction.
