Laboratories & R&D
Flexible, enterprise-grade research environments engineered to accelerate discovery, built to reconfigure, not rebuild.
Mission-Critical Infrastructure
We plan, build, and operate the facilities where science, healthcare, and technology actually happen.
Operator-led infrastructure advisory and execution for the most complex, regulated, and capital-intensive environments: laboratories, bio-manufacturing, clinical, advanced compute, and beyond.
Founded and led by Amrit Chaudhuri, co-founder & former CEO of SmartLabs, where he pioneered the Lab-as-a-Service category.

Figures reflect the verified career track record of Kaliper's founder, Amrit Chaudhuri.
01
One accountable team, across the entire lifecycle.
Complex facilities normally force you to assemble a strategy consultant, a broker, an architect, a general contractor, and an operations team, each working in a silo, none of whom has run the kind of environment you're building. Kaliper integrates the whole arc under people who have operated these facilities and built the businesses behind them.
- Strategy & Capital
Feasibility, market research, capital-markets strategy, asset repositioning.
- Owner's Representation
Vendor selection, budget, capital deployment, construction oversight.
- Design & Engineering
Specialized, modular, reconfigurable facilities built for change.
- Commissioning & Launch
Validation, transition, training, and operational handoff.
- Operations & OpCo
Run the facility, or stand up an entirely new operating company.
Who we work with
- Developers & landlords
- Universities & academic medical centers
- Governments & economic-development authorities
- Enterprise & biopharma
- Private equity, institutional funds & sovereign investors
02
Built for the most demanding environments.
Bio-Manufacturing & cGMP
Process, cleanroom, and regulated manufacturing infrastructure designed around real production workflows and compliance.
Healthcare & Clinical
Clinical, diagnostic, and care-delivery facilities with the accreditation, compliance, and operational rigor they demand.
Data Centers & AI Compute
High-density, resilient compute infrastructure with the redundancy and power strategy modern AI workloads require.
Advanced Industrial
Specialized industrial and technical facilities, including adaptive reuse of legacy assets into high-value space.
Operated Real Estate
Residential, hospitality, and co-working operating models: the fractional-access businesses we've built and run for years.
03
What we do.
Strategy & Advisory
Market analysis and feasibility, capital-markets strategy, campus and portfolio analysis, entitlements and code, and asset optimization: the unbiased, data-driven thinking that sets a project's direction.
Project Management & Development
Owner's Project Management from concept to completion: vendor selection, budget and risk management, capital deployment, and construction oversight, plus fee development and co-development partnerships.
Design, Resilience & Launch
Specialized and modular facility design with built-in redundancy and future-proofing, engineered around how the space is actually used, then commissioned, validated, and launched with minimal downtime.
Operations & Operating Companies
Operational modernization, compliance and EHS programs, managed operations and on-the-ground staffing, and the rarer capability of standing up an entirely new operating company, from financial model to launch to running it long-term.
04
How we're different.
Most firms see one slice of your project. We've lived the whole thing: designed the room, raised the capital, and run the operation. That changes every recommendation we make.
Operator-led
We've operated these facilities and built the companies behind them, so our design and strategy decisions are grounded in day-two reality, not theory.
Data-driven
Decisions draw on real operating benchmarks: utilization, staffing ratios, equipment sharing, energy intensity, cost per RSF, launch timelines, and day-two operating cost, not rules of thumb.
End-to-end
One accountable team from the first feasibility model to ongoing operations: no handoffs, no finger-pointing, no lost context.
05
Proven at scale.
Our leadership built the SmartLabs platform, roughly a million square feet of enterprise-grade lab and bioproduction space across the country. A selection:

Selected engagements
CRISPR Therapeutics: launch infrastructure and operations
SmartLabs housed, resourced, and operated CRISPR Therapeutics' first labs, supporting the company from its earliest teams through the first IND submission for the program that became the first FDA-approved CRISPR therapy.
Academic medical center consolidation, Philadelphia
Kaliper originated the concept and led the diligence that showed a Philadelphia academic medical center it could consolidate, compress, and afford roughly 150,000 square feet of research operations in a single new University City building.
Engineered, not improvised
Design coordination and BIM models: the kind of engineering rigor behind every space we deliver.
The work, in the end, is the room: enterprise-grade space, built to be shared.
06
Leadership.
Amrit Chaudhuri
Founder & Managing Partner
Amrit is a biotechnology executive, entrepreneur, and infrastructure builder who has spent two decades solving the operational and strategic challenges at the intersection of life sciences, healthcare, real estate, and technology.
He is best known as the co-founder and former CEO of SmartLabs (2014–2024), where he pioneered the Lab-as-a-Service model and built one of the largest integrated laboratory platforms in the industry: raising $400M+, developing roughly one million square feet of lab space, and supporting thousands of scientists. Earlier, he founded Advanced Peptides, delivering 3,000+ scientific projects.
He was named to Inc.'s 20 Inspiring Entrepreneurs Improving Health for All, holds US Patent 9,505,820B2, serves on New York City's Life Sciences Real Estate Advisory Board, delivered the keynote at Taiwan's national CDMO summit, and gave a statement to the 117th U.S. Congress on biomedical infrastructure. Today he advises institutions, developers, and governments on next-generation life sciences campuses, national CDMO strategy, and academic medical center transformation.
"The hardest part isn't building the science. It's building everything around it."

Grounded in the science, not just the building.
Before building the infrastructure, our founder spent 2007–2024 working hands-on across the science itself, as an external R&D partner and then as the operator who housed it. Across 208 organizations in 10+ countries, working with all of them rather than inside any one is what revealed what R&D teams actually need from a building, where conventional labs fall short, and how a facility behaves on day two. That vantage point shapes every Kaliper engagement: from feasibility to design to operations.
