The Kiraly Lab is located in The Innovation Quarter of Downtown Winston Salem, NC. This area is part of an urban renewal of former R.J. Reynolds tobacco company facilities. The area now houses cutting edge bioscience facilities, new and adaptive reuse housing, retail and restaurants! Our lab is a short walk away from the lovely Bailey Park area where you will find coffee shops, restaurants, bars, breweries and fitness studios. We are also not far from Winston Salem’s main downtown corridor with even more to choose from!
