On Jun. 25, 2012, the Helix Center Biotech Incubator opened its doors, owned and operated by the St. Louis County Economic Council, now the St. Louis Economic Development Partnership. The incubator features affordable, high quality, wet and dry lab space and offices in a completely renovated, two-story building with the most up-to-date systems and technologies. Boasting over 20 office spaces, 16 laboratories and key pieces of shared lab equipment, Helix allows innovators to launch and scale their enterprise under one roof.
