The Center for Biotechnology can provide access to a compelling, pre-screened pipeline of academic technologies, milestone based incentives, access to early-stage funding opportunities, and staff support to serve as your virtual start-up team. The Long Island, NY region has a well demonstrated capacity for innovation, serving as home to Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Stony Brook University, the Feinstein Institute at Northwell Health, and Brookhaven National Laboratory, among others. Sample technologies that have emerged from the region include Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), ReoPro®; Xiaflex®; Cavistat®; Oracea®, and 3D Virtual Colonoscopy.

The Center for Biotechnology is deeply saddened to share the loss of one of our biggest advocates and trusted advisors, Peter Young. Peter spent his career in the life-science industry, most recently as a Sr. Venture Partner and Executive-in- Residence with Pappas Capital. Until recently, he resided on Long Island and gave freely of his time and expertise to support our Center, and the emerging life sciences companies, entrepreneurs, and faculty innovators we work with to advance life science innovation into the market. Most importantly, Peter had a wonderful and kind spirit that he generously shared with all of us. He will be profoundly missed.
