THE BIOSCIENCE CLUSTER

Providing Value:
Participants and Facilities

Broadly defined, BioScience includes medical technologies, marine and environmental science, food science, agriculture and a wide array of activities involving application of the principles of biology.

The Hampton Roads Research Partnership is establishing a BioScience Cluster, consisting of Research Partnership member institutions as well as Hampton Roads companies and organizations actively engaged in one or more BioScience aspects.

The BioScience multi-university coalition will provide access to numerous state-of-the-art research facilities at member institutions and an additional 29 laboratories co-located at the Applied Research Center in Newport News, Virginia.

Among BioScience Cluster partners are included

The Eastern Virginia Medical School
The Virginia Institute of Marine Science
Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility
The Virginia Center for Innovative Technology
The Virginian Biotechnology Association

Getting Involved:
Interaction and Information Exchange

The BioScience Cluster seeks to develop a well-connected and highly active BioScience community to enable Cluster members to routinely network, exchange information and to create funding opportunities.

The BioScience Cluster will organize a number of events each year, including workshops and seminars.

There exist strong crosslinks to the Modeling & Simulation and Sensors Clusters.

Amplifying Collaboration:
A Regional Research Partnership

The BioScience Cluster is part of the Hampton Roads Research Partnership (HRRP), a synergistic collaboration that involves

Seven distinctive universities and colleges,
Two acclaimed federal research laboratories,
A medical school with world-renowned programs, and
A leader in applied aerospace technologies and education

The Research Partnership

Coordinates research efforts
Leverages partner institutions’ state-of-the-art facilities
Engages the intellectual capital of 2,000 HRRP-affiliated scientists and engineers

HRRP is funded by its members and the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration.
