The Querrey InQbation Lab

The InQbation Lab is Northwestern's hub for resources and space to translate Northwestern’s excellence in research-driven innovation out to the public.  A home for early-stage, science-driven startups and the nucleus for a wide range of enabling programming for our university's faculty, researchers, and students, the InQbation Lab accelerates impactful technologies to society.

The Querrey InQbation Lab was named in honor of Kimberly K. Querrey (’22, ’23 P), chair of the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Committee of Northwestern’s Board of Trustees.
