Soft launch

It is officially T-minus 14 days until the Overchuk Lab goes live and welcomes its very first students!

Marta has just received access to the new lab spaces, equipment benches, break room, and office. It may look quiet out in the hallways, but Marta’s keyboard is practically on fire behind the scenes - negotiating with vendors, locking down safety protocols, and coordinating the student onboarding.

Stay tuned for our official launch, and scroll through the photos below for a sneak peek at our brand-new home!

A clean, modern laboratory corridor featuring a yellow floor path, large equipment like ultra-low temperature freezers, glass partitions, and lab coats hanging along the wall.

A bright, spacious, and empty research laboratory with modern workbenches, overhead shelving, gas/utility connections, storage cabinets, and rolling lab chairs.
