Following the issuance of its report in 2001, the Market Demand Study for Commercial Biotechnology, Biomedical and Bioinformatics Facilities in New York City (PDF 767K), NYCIF organized a consortium of the City’s top academic medical research institutions and city and state officials, as well as prominent venture capitalists, bankers and private equity investors to support this Bioscience Initiative.
