SAN DIEGO, CA — Explora BioLabs, Inc., San Diego’s leading preclinical contract research and vivarium rental provider, announces the signing of a lease for a 14,000 square foot, purpose-built facility in Sorrento Valley.
This facility, part of the Coast 9 property owned and managed by BioMed Realty Trust, Inc., will house the new headquarters and research operations of Explora BioLabs and provide additional rental vivarium housing for rodents used in critical preclinical studies. Commencement of operations is anticipated to be summer of 2015.
“Our flexible vivarium incubator model has proven extremely popular among our biotech, pharma, and academic clients in the Torrey Pines and Sorrento Valley hotbed communities.
