Corporate 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. Positioned as the translational research and commercialization hub of the Buffalo Life Sciences Complex, the CoE launched a Corporate and 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 and community partners, who benefit in numerous ways through their involvement in the CoE Corporate and Community Partner Program.
