“We were drawn to Discovery Park because of its balance of scientific infrastructure and startup-friendly environment. It offered us a combination of lab space, mentorship, and proximity to other innovators who share our urgency to deliver solutions. Discovery Park has given us far more than facilities.

We've also benefited from workshops, pitch coaching, and opportunities to share our story with wider networks of investors and innovators.”
