Bridging the Gap Between Research Capacity and Researchers

Second Lab was founded with a simple yet powerful idea: to bridge the gap between underutilized university research capacity and the researchers who need them. Our journey began when experienced research directors at UC Berkeley recognized the challenges faced by researchers in accessing specialized equipment. Inspired by their experience in the research community, Second Lab set out to launch a platform that would make these resources more accessible, affordable, and efficient to the broader scientific community.
