Pilot Awards for Translational Science: LINCATS

The Long Island Network for Clinical and Translational Science (LINCATS) is awarding pilot funding of up to $25K per investigator with projects of novel approaches to translational science. This is open to faculty and postdoctoral fellows from the LINCATS network. Up to 8 awards will be granted per year – 4 of which will be provided to principal investigators from collaborating institutions, and 4 for SBU investigators.

Eligibility: All postdoctoral fellows and faculty affiliated with the LINCATS network (Brookhaven National Laboratory, Cold Spring Harbor, Northport VA Medical Center, Stony Brook University and all Stony Brook Medicine-affiliated healthcare locations) are eligible to apply. We will prioritize early career, under-represented groups, women, health disparities-focused clinical and translational science, and collaborative projects across institutions. Preference will be given to non-funded and new lines of research for the applying investigator.

Awardees will also benefit from research support from our Research Concierge, providing aid in:

Regulatory submission through approval
Data Capture and OnCore subject tracking
Pilot Tracking, to ensure the project meets specified milestones, including timely reporting
Resource Access to all LINCATS services
Monitoring and projecting study budgets

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.

Awards Support Innovative Research Collaborations Between Academic Faculty and Regional Bioscience Companies

The Center for Biotechnology at Stony Brook University has announced the recipients of the 2017-2018 Applied Research & Development (ARAD) awards. The ARAD Program is designed to help bridge the gap between the early-stage technology discovery and development capabilities of the academic community, and the later-stage commercial development interests of the bioscience industry. The program currently provides matching funds on a competitive basis to support collaborations between Stony Brook University faculty and New York State corporate partners in all areas of medical biotechnology. The primary interest is in supporting development of technologies that will help companies hit commercially relevant milestones, and that have the potential to positively impact the New York State economy. Projects supported this year include the furthered development of an ICU temporary pacemaker, a novel Lymphoma treatment, a novel synthetic peptide based therapeutic for Osteoporosis, further development of an fMRI Dynamic Phantom, development of novel vaccines, third generation taxoid based nanomedicine for chemoresistant cancer, development of a polymeric heart valve, a drug delivery technology for treatment of gastrointestinal diseases, and the development of skin brightening agents. “The Center’s Applied Research and Development Program speaks to the core of what our organization does – collaborate with New York State companies to help them develop commercially promising technologies that will lead to strategic partnerships, investment, corporate revenues, and job creation” said Diane Fabel, Director of Operations for the Center for Biotechnology. “Our academic institutions are incredible resources for bioscience companies to tap into when it comes to technology development, and promoting interactions between the two helps fuel the overall bioscience ecosystem in the region.” The ARAD Program is part of a suite of programs and services provided by the Center for Biotechnology (CFB) focused on accelerating the development of biomedical technologies in order to have a positive impact on human health and society. The CFB is also the lead administrative institution for the Long Island Bioscience Hub (LIBH) an NIH-designated Research Evaluation and Commercialization Hub (REACH) established with a National Institutes of Health grant in 2015. 2017-2018 Applied Research and Development Awards  "Synthetic Osteogenic Peptide for Treatment of Osteoporosis" Ajes Life Sciences & Dr. Srinivas Pentyala "fMRI Dynamic Phantom for Improved Detection of Resting State Brain Networks" ALA Scientific Instruments & Dr. Helmut Strey "Continued Development of ICU Temporary Pacemaker" Avery Biomedical Inc & Dr. Wei Lin "Novel Pleiotropic Skin Brightening Agents" Biocogent, LLC & Dr. Sanford Simon "In vivo Testing of Vaccine Candidates" Codagenix, Inc & Dr. Eckard Wimmer "A Novel Polymeric Valve for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement" Polynova Cardiovascular, Inc. & Dr. Danny Bluestein "Imaging the Targeted Delivery of Biologic Agents to the Colon for Local Therapeutic Action" Symbiotic Health Inc. & Dr. Peter M.
