The Redesignation brings $10 million in funding to drive innovation, company formation, and economic growth.
The Center for Biotechnology (CFB) has announced its re-designated as a Center for Advanced Technology (CAT) by Empire State Development's Division of Science, Technology and Innovation (NYSTAR), a recognition that comes with $1 million in annual funding over the next ten years. The $10 million commitment underscores the CFB’s leadership in accelerating life science innovation, supporting early-stage technology development, and fueling economic growth through start-up formation and industry partnerships.
“The Center for Biotechnology has served as a critical bridge between academic research and commercial success,” said Dr. Clinton Rubin, Director of the Center for Biotechnology. “This re-designation ensures we can continue to expand our impact, helping innovators bring breakthrough technology to market and strengthening New York’s position as a leader in the bioscience industry.”
Empire State Development President, CEO and Commissioner Hope Knight said, “NYSTAR’s Centers for Advanced Technology are vital to our strategic efforts to grow New York’s economy and the state’s greater innovation ecosystem. By investing in the industries of tomorrow, New Yorkers benefit today through dynamic partnerships that help to create new jobs, generate more revenues, and encourage more companies to establish a footprint in communities all throughout the state.”
The Center for Biotechnology is located on the campus of Stony Brook University (SBU), the flagship research institution within the prestigious State University of New York (SUNY) system. Stony Brook University is recognized as a national and global leader in life sciences research, biomedical innovation, and clinical care. Situated on Long Island, New York, Stony Brook has built a formidable reputation as a hub for cutting-edge scientific discovery and translational medicine. The Center for Biotechnology builds upon these strengths by providing cutting-edge programming and competitive financial support to advance biomedical innovation and emerging company growth.
“We are excited to build upon the successful foundation of strong entrepreneurial networks, infrastructure, and programming that we have built over the last four decades” said Dr. Diane Fabel, Chief Operating Officer at the Center for Biotechnology. “The impacts we have had during our last designation period include over $1B in total economic impact with more than 1000 jobs created, and driving more than $315M in follow-on funding. We are excited to see those numbers continue to grow when we celebrate fifty years of hard work at the end of this redesignation period”.
As part of the New York State CAT program, the CFB will continue to work with emerging and established companies across the state to de-risk early-stage technologies, advance both technology and company value, foster public-private collaboration, and provide critical infrastructure for the region’s growing life science ecosystem. Additionally, the CFB team will continue its efforts to develop a life sciences workforce to support the region's bio-innovation economy with a specific emphasis on sectors deemed important to the NYS economy.

[post_content] => Phase 0 Proof-of-Concept Partnership pilot program demonstrates effectiveness for
transitioning basic science discoveries into the commercialization pipeline.
The Long Island Bioscience Hub (LIBH), a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Research Evaluation and Commercialization Hub (REACH), is pleased to announce it has demonstrated significant impact as outlined in a recent evaluative report presenting the results and activities of the NIH REACH program over the pilot period of three years. The LIBH, a collaboration between Stony Brook University, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, and the Feinstein Institute at Northwell Health, led by the Center for Biotechnology, was formed in March 2015 with a mission to help commercialize biomedical technologies emerging from the region’s research institutions.
The report, prepared independently by RTI International on behalf of the NIH, outlines multiple outcomes from the REACH program, and documents the successes that the LIBH has had during the relatively short pilot phase of its work. The LIBH engaged 600 innovators in training sponsored or co-sponsored by the REACH Program. Fifty technology development projects have been funded by LIBH over the course of three years, including technologies focused on biologic drugs, diagnostic devices, small molecule drugs, therapeutic devices, and Health IT among others. As a result of the NIH investment in the LIBH, ten startup companies have been formed and two license agreements have been executed. In addition, the initial investment made by NIH in the region has generated follow on funding of more than $10 million, $2.8 million coming from five funded SBIR/STTR proposals based on LIBH technologies. This impact from the REACH program contributes to the overall economic impact of Center for Biotechnology, notably $1.2B over a recent fifteen year period.
“We are thrilled with the outcomes reported in the RTI evaluation for the Long Island Bioscience Hub’s efforts thus far under the REACH program” said Clinton T. Rubin, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor, Department of Biomedical Engineering, and Director, Center for Biotechnology. “Through the REACH program we’ve been able to expand on the region’s efforts to commercialize more innovation locally, thereby capturing more of the economic impact within the region. While the pilot program will end in mid-2019, these impacts clearly demonstrate the potential of the model to make significant contributions to our innovation ecosystem.”
“The RTI evaluation reinforces our knowledge that the Long Island Bioscience Hub model has already had a significant, positive impact on technologies and innovators embedded in our research community” stated Dr. Richard Reeder, Vice President for Research at Stony Brook University. “It is imperative we continue to fuel the activities of the LIBH as it is an essential part of innovation economy, and is a significant engine in bringing lifesaving technologies to patients.”
The Center for Biotechnology, in collaboration with other partners in the region, will continue to explore how the model might be continued and expanded.
