HomeLab is ground zero for San Diego’s Life Sciences innovation ecosystem.

Operated by LabFellows within the Center for Novel Therapeutics, HomeLab is California’s top ranked, award-nominated biotech accelerator. With the capacity to support over 100 startups per year, we support startups focused on translating innovations ranging from cell and gene therapies to AI for drug discovery.

We offer a dynamic space for visionary founders with big ideas in big markets built by teams who can win.

We believe that disruptive biotechs transcend boundaries: they can be built anywhere, by anyone, and in any corner of the economy - from novel therapeutics and AI in biotech to tools & diagnostics and sustainable biomaterials. We want to find and be a home to these new ventures.

We partner with founders around the world, across life science and digital health applications, and at various stages, primarily before success is obvious.

Our mission is simple: back big ideas in big markets with the team who can win.

We measure our success not merely by helping founders build towards exceptional exits, but by the impact we create through our mission-driven Fellowship programs.
