The Golden Ticket program assists high-potential life sciences and biotech startups
December 15, 2017
By: Betsy Louda
Amgen and LabCentral have announced that Kernal Biologics Inc. and QurAlis have won the Amgen Golden Ticket at LabCentral.
The two Golden Ticket winners were chosen by an Amgen internal committee and live audience members at a “Quick Pitch” event hosted by Amgen at its Cambridge R&D and Operations facility on Dec. 11, 2017. Five finalists pitched their business plan to attendees where the audiences’ input represented one vote of the overall results, along with the Amgen internal committee’s voting decision.
As one of LabCentral’s platinum sponsors, Amgen can nominate up to two early-stage companies annually to take up residence in LabCentral’s Kendall Square facilities in Cambridge, Mass. The Golden Ticket represents one year of bench space for one scientist, including benefit of LabCentral’s shared infrastructure and services (such as conference rooms, permits, shared equipment and facilities, participation in LabCentral training modules and seminars). Amgen scientists also provide informal mentoring. LabCentral is a first-of-its-kind shared laboratory space designed as a launchpad for high-potential life sciences and biotech startups.
“The event captured the essence of why Amgen is committed to contributing to and collaborating in the Cambridge biotech ecosystem. Not only were we evaluating ideas from five very strong startup companies advancing innovative science right in our own backyard, but we could be joined by our industry colleagues with a diverse set of backgrounds to assess the best innovations to help bring forward,” said John Dunlop, vice president of Neuroscience at Amgen.
In 2014, Amgen began sponsoring the Golden Ticket program with LabCentral to assist high-potential life sciences and biotech startups in their efforts to continue further research in advancing unique approaches to treatments for serious conditions.
