Collaborating to Accelerate Innovation and Impact

The Center for Bioinnovation thrives on collaboration. From industry leaders and global regulatory bodies to academic institutions and clinical innovators, our partnerships are designed to turn scientific advances into real-world solutions that drive progress across the biopharmaceutical landscape.

We work closely with biopharmaceutical companies, diagnostic developers, and instrumentation firms—such as Takeda, Biogen, Thermo Fisher, and Ginkgo Bioworks—to co-develop technologies, validate methods, and train the next generation of scientists. Our ties to regulatory agencies and organizations like the FDA, WHO, and APEC support harmonization efforts and workforce development on a global scale. Through formal agreements with academic centers like NIBRT (Ireland), Dublin City University, and Queen’s University Belfast, we foster knowledge exchange, joint research, and global training programs.

Whether advancing analytical tools, expanding international training, or creating industry-sponsored research opportunities, our partnerships ensure that everything we do is grounded in shared goals and built for meaningful, measurable impact.

The Life Sciences Testing Center

Our lab provides a fully regulated clinical space to perform CAP approved Clinical Research and Clinical Assay development. Our facilities have experience in scaling methods from R&D to commercial processing and providing regulatory guidance to collaborators. In addition, our lab offers training on IVD/Dx/21.CFR Part 11 rated equipment, regulatory, and clinical laboratory science resulting in workforce development e-badges and certificates. Specific combinations of NEU e-badges can make a trainee eligible for NEU academic credit.

The Life Sciences Testing Center (LSTC) is a CLIA/CAP/NY State licensed clinical diagnostic laboratory which supported COVID-19 testing during the pandemic testing nearly two million patient samples. Currently we support population surveillance of bacteria, fungi, and viruses in wastewater and are validating new diagnostic tests. Our team has years of experience working with both FDA approved clinical assays and Laboratory Developed Tests.
