Mount Sinai Scientists Push for East Harlem Biotech Incubator - Amy Zimmer
Scientists who create life-saving drugs want to turn East Harlem into the next biotech hub. Five female scientists from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai are planning to launch a nonprofit, with shared work space in East Harlem for medical startup companies. The group called KiiLN - Keystone for Incubating Innovation in Life Sciences - will serve as a home base for more than a dozen fledgling companies seeking to cure diseases, and will meet a need among city scientists, said Nicole McKnight, whose lab is getting a patent for an Alzheimer's disease drug.
