(Boston Orange 周菊子報導)麻州劍橋市肯德廣場的生物化學公司創新工場,大眾創新實驗室(Mass Innovation Labs),迭創佳績,最近又有2家新公司進駐。12萬4000平方呎空間在不到一年間已85%滿。會員企業融資總額逾十億美元
為達納法伯癌症研究中心做研究成果商業化服務,主要發展新類型蛋白質靶向降解療法,最近和羅氏製藥(Roche)達成合作協議,獲得Cobro創投公司領頭的A輪資金7300萬元的 C4 Therapeutics,一月份搬了進去,佔用2萬平方呎面積。
C4 Therapeutics擁有達納法伯癌症中心的許可,在Degronimid平台上,面向全世界的獨家提供所有應用程式,以創新的小分子解決方案來做有力的,有靶向,快速蛋白質降解,治療很廣泛的疾病。
該公司的其他投資者包括Cormorant資管理公司,卡夫特集團(The Kraft Group),EG資本集團,天使投資人,羅氏及諾華帝(Novartis)。
來自舊金山,發展新一代個人化癌症療法的砂礫腫瘤(Gritstone Oncology),則是去年十一月就決定在肯德廣場設點。
Gristone Oncology公司的共同創辦人董事長Andrew Allen博士,C4 Therapeutics執行長Jason Fisherman都,對發展中企業來,時間就是金錢,進駐大眾創新實驗室,能讓他們在架設符合所需辦公實驗室上節省幾個月時間,迅速投入研究工作,尤其難得。
目前已進駐大眾創新實驗室的公司,還包括duo join Imagen Biopharma,TCR2 Therapeutics,Cellaria Biosciences,WaveGuide,Radius Health,以及 Editas
麻州創新實驗室的共同創辦人執行長Amrit Chaudhuri表示,推出這個空間,就是想要為正在成長的中型生物科技公司,或是不希望長期租用昂貴實驗室的初創公司,提供場所,資金來源,以及各種必要的設備,支援。
            在麻州劍橋市肯德廣場,共有兩家這類公司,出租有全方位服務的實驗室及辦公室空間。在大眾創新實驗室之外,另一家是座落科技廣場附近的LabCenter。
大眾創新實驗室的優越條件之一,包括會員公司可以使用合夥人,理士河實驗室(Charles River Labs)所有,就在那條街上的動物試驗設備。
Chaudhuri透露,由於大眾創新實驗室的空間已經裝滿了85%,他們打算今年在劍橋市再開闢第二個場地空間。
大眾創新實驗室的第一個租客,在基因剪輯上備受矚目的CRISPR,去年十二月獲得德國藥業鉅子貝爾(Bayer AG)的3億3千5百萬元投資,現在已搬了出去。
波士頓環球報(Boston Globe)昨(17)日報導了大眾創新實驗室近況。



            

查理貝克表態支持兩眾議員候選人

Friend --

I wanted to get in touch today about some very important elections coming up on March 1. In two special elections - in Fitchburg and in Peabody - there are some terrific candidates running who I hope you'll support.
In the 3rd Worcester District - Fitchburg and part of Lunenburg - Councilor Dean Tran is running a competitive race and needs your help. Dean has been an advocate for fiscal discipline on the Fitchburg City Council for years, and would be a great addition to our team on Beacon Hill. Click here to get involved in his campaign: http://www.DeanTran.com/get-involved.html
And in Peabody's 12th Essex District, Stephanie Peach has been a tireless advocate for her city as Rep. Leah Cole's legislative aide. Now she wants to continue that service as a state representative, and I know she will be a strong voice for her hometown on Beacon Hill. Get involved with her campaign here: http://www.peach4peabody.com/volunteer
Karyn and I have been working hard to deliver on our campaign promises, and we've gotten a lot done in our first year. But to keep going, we need strong partners in the Legislature so we can continue to deliver for Massachusetts. Electing Dean and Stephanie to the House will be an big part of that effort. I hope you'll support them today.
Thanks so much for all you do,
Charlie Baker
