Morphology
The meaning 'a laboratory for biological research' is directly and transparently derived from 'bio' (life/biological) plus 'lab' (laboratory). Because 'bio' is a common prefix/shortening for biology and 'lab' clearly denotes a research facility, a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The compound bio lab joins bio, meaning 'life', and lab, short for 'laboratory', so picture a room with microscopes and test tubes where people study tiny living things. That's why it means 'a place where experiments on living things are done'.
