Public description

About the program

JLABS @ TMC is Johnson & Johnson Innovation's Houston incubator, opened inside the Texas Medical Center Innovation campus to catalyze early-stage research through to commercialization in the Gulf Coast region. It provides modular wet-lab and office space, shared equipment and access to J&J mentors and the wider TMC clinical ecosystem. Residency does not require companies to give up equity or IP.
