Charleston biotech site opens with 46 planned jobs

Staff Writer · 2026-10-12 · Charleston

Obatala Sciences is operating a new Charleston site at Blue Sky Labs after a $656,000 investment, with plans for 46 jobs and biotechnology training opportunities.

The Charleston location is Obatala's first East Coast operation. The company says it will use the site for partnership development, translational research, product development and future expansion connected to its biomaterials and laboratory tissue-model work.

People interested in employment can contact the company at careers@obatalasciences.com. The state announcement does not identify specific openings, pay ranges, application deadlines or qualification requirements, so applicants should obtain those details from Obatala before applying.

The announcement describes 46 planned jobs and training opportunities tied to the investment; it does not say that every position is currently open or give a schedule for filling them. The Charleston operation is intended to connect the company with the Medical University of South Carolina and the region's life-sciences network.
