Overview
K2bio is a preclinical CRO and lab infrastructure provider headquartered in Houston, Texas, with a secondary presence in San Diego. Founded in 2018, the company has pivoted from its original focus on antibody-based biologics and drug delivery to a service-based model centered on its AAALAC-accredited vivarium and flexible lab incubator space. It offers integrated solutions for in vivo pharmacology, lab operations, and scientific support, primarily serving biotech and pharmaceutical clients in the Houston biotech hub. The company is privately held and appears to be in an early revenue-generating stage from its service contracts.
