What could the scientist work on in that lab?

They're obviously manufacturing monsters. Where else are they going to come from to stock the dungeon?
Seriously there aren't many things it makes any sense to "research" in an illegal secret lab, and for a production lab it mostly amounts to illegal drugs or weapons.
Also if law enforcement is good enough you need to keep your illegal operation secret, it doesn't make much sense for it to be a big enough facility to pass as a dungeon anyway. Maybe it's not actually illegal or secret, just a bit privacy obsessed? Some corporation might be researching almost anything and not making a big show of it to delay the appearance of competitors (or producing anything quietly to avoid angry mobs who object to them doing something this horrible in our neighborhood rather than over there in the slums where dangerous industries belong). Of course that makes the dungeon crawl a criminal enterprise, but PCs mostly aren't honest people.
