This March, the New Orleans BioInnovation Center will open its doors to a new generation of innovators from Louisiana's burgeoning Life Science Community. Situated between the Greater New Orleans Biosciences Economic Development District and the New Orleans Medical District, on the 1400 block of Canal, the center offers 66, 000 square feet of state of the art wet-lab, office and conference space. Designed to cultivate and conceive new ideas for bio-innovation, the Center exists among a community made up of hospitals, medical universities, research centers and biotech businesses. The Center itself can house dozens of companies, providing the infrastructure to support the day-to-day functions of company research and business. The Center's design provides a close network of the region's leading researchers and innovators and promotes collaboration within the life science community.
