The Terasaki Institute is a non-profit research foundation founded by Dr. Paul Terasaki, a pioneer in organ transplantation. The Terasaki Institute conducts high-caliber research in immunology and organ rejection, attracting funding from various sources and collaborating globally. It has expanded to four buildings in Los Angeles, including a core lab in Warner Center.
TIBI started the Terasaki NeXt incubator to bridge the gap between academic research and market-ready products. The incubator supports academic entrepreneurs by providing facilities, business support, and a seamless membership experience without long-term commitments. This helps translate promising research into patient-impacting solutions.
To become a member, you can download an application from their website. The incubator offers shared lab facilities, IP development assistance, business planning, and market access support, making it an ideal environment for bioscience startups.
NeXt currently houses four members and has had six graduating members since its inception in March 2023.
