Virginia BioTechnology Research Park
The Virginia BioTechnology Research Park, a joint initiative of Virginia Commonwealth University and the city of Richmond, is situated on 34-acres adjacent to the VCU Medical Center.
The park is home to a unique mix of more than 50 biosciences companies, research institutes affiliated with the VCU Medical Center and major state and national medical laboratories and organizations involved with forensics, testing of biotoxins and management of the nation’s organ transplantation process.
The park works hand-in-hand with VCU, other academic institutions, businesses, and government and not-for-profit organizations to facilitate technology transfer and business development. Its business accelerator — the Virginia Biosciences Development Center — assists biosciences startups in the park’s incubator with everything from legal and financial services to business planning.
