The Institute for Life Science Entrepreneurship and ATCC will collaborate to establish the ATCC Center for Translational Microbiology at ILSE. The focus of the center will be on key challenges identified by both ATCC and ILSE in current translational microbiology, including antimicrobial resistance, synthetic biology, microbial bioinformatics, and the microbiome. Research laboratories and staff will be located at ILSE facilities within the New Jersey Center for Science, Technology & Mathematics building at Kean University, a founding member of ILSE. Under the terms of the multiyear, multimillion-dollar partnership, initial funding to ILSE will support the recruitment of a 10 to 12 person scientific team and the startup of research operations. Once established, additional funding will be sought from grants, external research collaborations and partnerships, and follow-on ATCC investment. The agreement also contains provisions for the sharing of product and licensing revenues that result from the center’s research.
