Community Partner Program

The New York State Center of Excellence in Bioinformatics & Life Sciences (CoE) was created on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus through more than $200 million dollars in funding from state, federal, philanthropic and industry sources in 2002 to create a hub of life sciences expertise and economic development in Upstate New York. With the Center’s grand opening in June 2006, the CoE launched a Community Partner Program to formalize its collaboration with firms who wish to be part of supporting the growth of the life sciences industry. The CoE is dedicated to creating and commercializing new technology innovations in cooperation with its corporate partners, who benefit in numerous ways through their involvement in the CoE Community Partner Program.

Thank you to the Members of the Center of Excellence Corporate & Community Partner Program!
