Public description
About the program
Amgen has sponsored Golden Tickets at LabCentral, awarding local biotech startups a year of sponsored bench space in the Kendall Square shared laboratory along with access to Amgen scientific mentorship. Amgen ran multiple award rounds, in some years selecting two startups at once through a nomination and judging process with the Cambridge biotech community. Amgen also separately sponsored the QB3@953 incubator in San Francisco.
