South San Francisco and San Diego, CA — Explora BioLabs, a preclinical facility operator and service provider headquartered in San Diego, announces its expansion into South San Francisco. Explora has leased approximately 18,000 square feet of purpose-built pharmacology space in the landmark Genesis SSF tower, located at One Tower Place along Highway 101, bordering the South San Francisco (SSF) life sciences cluster. Explora anticipates commencing its SSF operations in the second quarter of 2017.
Explora’s SSF facility will provide state-of-the-art workspace for clients’ pharmacology research operations; a conference room; cell culture rooms; all needed equipment and supplies; and regulatory and staffing support.
“Our flexible, full-service pharmacology accelerator model has proven very popular with biotech and pharma researchers in San Diego.
