Genesis Biotechnology Group® (GBG) and its CRO arm Genesis Drug Discovery & Development™ (GD3) has expanded its relationship with Yale University to continue to offer GD3's integrated portfolio of preclinical services to the awardees of the Blavatnik Fund for Innovation. Initiated in 2018, this is a part of GD3's efforts to offer early drug discovery-based services to Yale's researchers, allowing their breakthrough research to get to the market as new drugs and treatments.
"We are delighted to partner with Yale University for a second year to accelerate the transition of fundamental biomedical discoveries into commercialization opportunities," said Eli Mordechai, PhD, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of GBG. "Our partnership with Yale will continue building our ongoing strong and mutually beneficial relationship with the Blavatnik Fund and Office of Cooperative Research at Yale."

"We are deeply privileged to be chosen by Yale as a trusted partner CRO to help the entrepreneur scientists' transition their research towards commercialization" said Prabal Banerjee, PhD, Director of Business Development for GD3. "The ability to provide integrated services to projects as they transition from discovery to development is always reassuring for partners like Yale."
This partner arrangement was made possible by a grant from the Blavatnik Family Foundation. This multi-year grant supports the Blavatnik Fund for Innovation at Yale, which was designed to bridge the gap between life science research and business and support faculty in the commercialization of applied research and technology. The fund's recent commitment of $25 million has created new opportunities for emerging ventures and biotech companies.
