Governor Kathy Hochul has unveiled plans for New York BioGenesis Park, a groundbreaking $430 million Cell and Gene Therapy (CGT) Innovation Hub in Nassau County, Long Island. To be developed by The Albanese Organization, Inc., this state-of-the-art facility would catalyze CGT research, development, clinical manufacturing, and commercialization across New York State. With a historic $150 million state investment—the largest nationwide for a cell and gene therapy hub—NYBGP would accelerate the delivery of new therapies from lab to patient in New York's diverse communities. This transformative hub aims to establish New York as the leading global destination for CGT innovation, driving economic growth, attracting top talent, and revolutionizing patient care statewide and beyond.

The Center for Biotechnology is thrilled to be counted as a partner in this effort, and is looking forward to working with our colleagues in the initiative to help catalyze and accelerate life-changing therapies.

New York BioGenesis Park is envisioned as a cutting-edge, full-service campus dedicated to advancing cell and gene therapies and accelerating their commercialization. At full build-out, the 700,000-square-foot park would create an end-to-end Cell and Gene Therapy innovation and supply center, featuring interconnected areas for public engagement, research, manufacturing, and collaboration.

A cornerstone of New York BioGenesis Park is its incubator, supported by a $50 million investment from ESD's Long Island Investment Fund. This facility will empower early-stage therapeutic developers by offering state-of-the-art wet lab space, shared equipment, office space, and other essential resources. This nurturing environment would provide Cell and Gene Therapy companies with access to specialized equipment, mentoring, and stage-appropriate financial guidance. As a critical component of New York BioGenesis Park, the incubator is poised to catalyze the growth of promising Cell and Gene Therapy companies by providing them with resources and support, unlocking their potential for innovation and success.

New York BioGenesis Park would foster strong ties with academic and medical institutions throughout New York, creating a robust ecosystem for Cell and Gene Therapy innovation. Collaborating with the Empire State Cellular Therapy Consortium and world-class institutions like Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, the Feinstein Institutes, Northwell Health, Roswell Park, Stony Brook University, Weill Cornell, Columbia University and others around the state, New York BioGenesis Park would enhance research synergies and accelerate medical breakthroughs. This ecosystem would bring together experts in advanced Cell and Gene Therapy therapies, offering specialized facilities, services, and resources to both tenants and collaborating institutions. By facilitating cutting-edge science, innovative technology development and novel approaches to clinical trials, New York BioGenesis Park would ensure New York's institutions remain globally competitive in groundbreaking Cell and Gene Therapy research and commercialization.

BARDA DRIVe is seeking information on technologies that are relevant to AI for automated biomedical image acquisition and AI for automated biomedical image interpretation, with a focus on reducing the burden on clinical, technician, and care staff in any setting. If you can provide insight on any of the items listed below, please contact Phuong Nguyen (phuong.t.nguyen@stonybrook.edu) by June 8, 2021.

This request encompass all stages of development from early research/academic labs through start up and late commercialization: They are more interested in technical rather than any particular stage of development, thus the focus is not just on the commercial sector but also on the work being conducted at academic/research/medical/FFRDC organizations. This can be an AI solution applied to existing imaging infrastructure, or new imaging devices. This AI and imaging combination should provide new value propositions, form factors, or use cases that are only possible with integration of AI.

Specific areas and use cases of interest include but are not limited to:
- Automated biomedical image interpretation, primarily in ultrasound, computer tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging.
- Approaches to automated interpretation of optical and x-ray images are of interest, but of secondary priority.
- AI-based diagnostic image acquisition and image interpretation in emergency medical services (EMSs) and in surgical settings to accurately assess the severity of a patient’s medical condition, e.g. the location of an internal hemorrhage or the location of a broken bone, torn ligament or other injury.
- AI-based automated image reconstruction.
- AI-based automated analysis of cancer screening images (e.g. mammograms)
- AI-assisted image guidance for placement of medical devices, e.g. catheterization
- AI-assisted fluoroscopy
