    BIOTECH co-working provider NSG BioLabs secured a US$14.5 million funding round led by private equity player Celadon Partners, it announced on Tuesday (May 7). Temasek-backed biotech investor ClavystBio also joined in the round.

    The funds will be used to establish more facilities and co-working laboratory sites. Currently, NSG BioLabs has three Biosafety Level 2 laboratory and office sites, which allow for work with chemicals and agents with moderate potential hazard to personnel and the environment.
