Weill Cornell Medicine Enterprise Innovation is both a local and global leader in academic research commercialization. The end-to-end infrastructure significantly increases the likelihood of academic research commercialization success – from internal mechanisms that look to both educate and prepare researchers and their innovative projects for the commercialization journey, to biopharma mentorship events and prize-awarding pitch competitions, which allow for research teams to engage with key external stakeholders across the biopharma and investor community. It’s encouraging and rewarding for me to see the time and effort the Enterprise Innovation team puts into catalyzing its research community in preparation for collaborations to build disruptive biotech companies and advance new medicines in New York City and beyond.

LEXEO’s partnership with Weill Cornell represented an unprecedented opportunity to transition cutting edge science developed in a high profile academic lab into a biotechnology company, which has in turn led to novel discoveries and clinical data for several diseases of high unmet need. Weill Cornell’s high quality academic science combined with an enterprise innovation culture that fosters the transition of this technology into new companies has the potential to alter and enhance the life sciences ecosystem in New York City.
