Who We are
When Dr. Richard Lin needed a clean, functioning vivarium to continue his startup’s research, he knew he didn’t want to outsource to a distant facility. As he searched for vivaria in his area, however, he grew frustrated. There seemed to be only two options available: to trust his study to a distant CRO that didn’t understand his science and may not have offered complete transparency, or build his own facility. Both options were operationally and financially inefficient—poor choices for a startup like Dr. Lin’s.
Dr. Lin created Explora BioLabs to provide researchers like himself with accessible, robust vivarium facilities and preclinical research services. He didn’t know it at the time, but his efforts would revolutionize the way preclinical in vivo studies are conceived and executed.
Explora BioLabs’ leadership has changed since Dr. Lin founded it over two decades ago, but the mission lives on. We’re proud of the successes we’ve helped our clients realize. We’re constantly brainstorming new ways in which we can accelerate preclinical in vivo workflows and make them more flexible and efficient. We look forward to being part of your success, too.
