Welcome to Downstate's Biotechnology initiative, a comprehensive plan to nurture biotechnology research and development in Brooklyn. SUNY Downstate Medical Center has a long history of serving the community while being at the forefront of medical discovery. Downstate is continuing this proud tradition with this bold, borough-wide biotechnology program.
The cornerstone of this project is Downstate’s Biotechnology Park, which currently includes an Advanced Biotechnology Incubator for start-ups and early-stage biotech companies and a 13,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art commercial synthetic chemistry facility. Companies leasing space at these locations have convenient access to Downstate's facilities and amenities.
In addition, we are working with New York City and New York State to develop biotech-related space at the Brooklyn Army Terminal (BioBAT) for expansion and manufacturing. To support this initiative, Downstate has formed the Brooklyn Biotechnology Consortium and, with Hunter College of CUNY, has a workforce development grant from the New York City Sectors Initiative for a job training program for Bioscience/Biotechnology Technicians.
This site describes the Biotech Park, Biotech Incubator, commercial synthetic chemistry facility, BioBAT at the Brooklyn Army Terminal, and the Bioscience/Biotechnology Technicians Training Program.
To apply for space in the Incubator, please complete the Downstate Advanced Biotechnology Incubator Application and fax to 718-270-1878 or email to ecramer@downstate.edu. For inquiries related to the Incubator, commercial synthetic chemistry facility or BioBAT, please email Eva Cramer at ecramer@downstate.edu.
Thank you for your interest. |
