From the Queen Mary, University of London website:
"Queen Mary, University of London plans to develop a new £28m Biosciences Innovation Centre at its Whitechapel Campus. Jointly developed with the London Development Agency (LDA) with the support of Thames Gateway funding from the Department for Communities and Local Government, the Innovation Centre will be located on New Road, Whitechapel adjacent to Queen Mary’s School of Medicine and Dentistry.
The new Innovation Centre will provide a state-of-the-art facility comprising approximately 40,000 square feet of laboratories and offices designed specifically for high technology companies operating in the Life Sciences sector. The LDA wants to promote enterprise in Life Sciences – a sector with high potential growth. The Innovation Centre will attract start-up companies from Queen Mary as well as independent companies from further afield. In total, the Innovation Centre expects to contribute to the employment of up to 300 skilled professionals. The Centre also anticipates supporting an additional 60-80 jobs in services in the local community, for example from minicab services and printing shops, to café bars and restaurants."
