5 Lab Move Triggers: Signs a Move Is In Your Near Future

Written by ZAGENO | April 30, 2024

1. Evolving Business Demands and Timelines

Your lab is growing more rapidly than forecasted. Growing headcount is straining lab space.

2. Bringing Activities In-House

Outsourced activities, like vivarium operations, CRO studies, and clinical material production, are now being brought in-house, increasing headcount and squeezing space.

3. Market Forces

Rent is expensive, the talent pool is shifting, and/or regional space availability is limited.

4. The Bigger Fish: Acquisition and Integration

Your lab gets acquired by a larger company and needs to integrate with their standards and requirements.

5. Graduation (like it or not)

Your lease expired or it’s time to transition from a university or an incubator environment.
