"New York City has been the ideal location to build a life sciences company,” said Dr. Zammit. “The City’s academic institutions are the source of an exceptionally talented labor force, and its healthcare institutions are among the best in the world, providing a rich environment in which to innovate. New York also is located near eight of the top ten ranked pharmaceutical companies, and it is easily reached by international clients and investors. The population of patients we serve also is among the largest and most diverse of any city in the world.”
The City is working to finalize a lease within the next few months that will enable the East River Science Park to become a reality. This privately-financed campus will create a total of 870,000 square feet of labs, office and conference rooms for the industry. It will also attract more bioscience companies like Clinilabs and create high-paying research jobs for generations to come.
