New York’s diversity and strengths are enabling groundbreaking life science innovation
Through strategic investment in biopharmaceutical, device and diagnostic research, development and manufacturing, New York fuels the creation of cutting-edge healthcare solutions. New York is growing its life science industry through a broad range of economic development programs and public-private partnerships, supported by the state’s award-winning research talent. And through its $620 million Life Science Initiative, New York is expanding the state’s ability to commercialize research and spurring the growth of a world-class life science research cluster.
Here’s how New York is growing the industry:
The Empire Discovery Institute – with the University of Rochester, University at Buffalo and Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center as founding partner institutions– will fast track translation of groundbreaking research from the laboratory to commercial opportunity.
New York’s Wadsworth Center, one of the foremost public health systems in the country, is partnering with world class biopharmaceutical companies to create commercial solutions that address critical public health issues—including Lyme Disease, one of the country’s fastest-growing infectious diseases.
IndieBio New York is a startup development program backed by global venture fund, SOSV, which invests in early-stage life science startups that are tackling the world's most pressing problems in human and planetary health. IndieBio New York promotes innovation by offering companies a dedicated four-month educational program, investment, free lab space, and the opportunity to become part of New York's fast-growing life science ecosystem.
