Plymouth - Michigan Life Science Innovation Center opens in Plymouth
metromode, 9/24/2009
It's official. The Michigan Life Science and Innovation Center, one of the state's most intricate business incubators, is open for business and already has an impressive list of tenants.
The Michigan Economic Development Corporation, Ann Arbor SPARK, and Greater Wayne Economic Development Corporation cut the ribbon for the old Pfizer space that will now house a combination of experienced entrepreneurs and start-up life science companies.
The 57,518-square-foot facility offers office state-of-the-art laboratories for drug development and clinical research. That means millions of dollars of equipment that is available to start-ups at a low cost. It's also has a central location, putting it within 20 minutes of five counties and Metro Airport.
"There is really nothing of this magnitude or scope under one roof," says Roger Newton, president and CEO of
Esperion Therapeutics.
The companies that have signed on include Algal Scientific, Distributed Compliance Solutions, Esperion Therapeutics, Lifetime Nutrition, Lycera, Milad Pharmaceuticals Consulting, Next Generation Therapeutics, Velesco Pharmaceutical Services, and Chef House Catering, which operates the center's cafe.
