Flagship R&D Alliance Projects

Beginning with four of the strategic alliance opportunities identified in the Road Map report, Mass Insight convened industry-led project work groups representing institutions across the public and private sectors to explore large-scale projects where multi-institutional, cross-sector collaboration could create value that no single institution or sector could on its own. Mass Insight is facilitating and organizing the campaign to raise additional funds for two large-scale R&D collaborative projects:

Collaborative Imaging Biomarker Center

The CIBC addresses the significant opportunity to accelerate the development of new therapeutics for the treatment of human disease by leveraging the collective R&D capability represented in the region's life science industry, universities, academic medical centers and hospitals. The project would advance the use of imaging biomarkers for early evidence of therapeutic efficacy before taking candidates into clinical testing as well for use as surrogate endpoints for regulatory approval.  more>>

Ocean Research Center

This project brings together Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, UMass, MIT and industry. The goal is to establish a $100 million+ center in southeastern Massachusetts to compete for the northeast NSF ORION ocean observation project and make Massachusetts a national center for fisheries, weather, climate and ocean management research.
