The Central New York Biotechnology Research Center will host its second annual Biotechnology Symposium in March, 2010, in Syracuse, NY. The prior symposium in 2009 included presentations from 15 NYS biotechnology companies including Crowley Foods, Anheuser Busch, Constellation Wines, TVT Bio, Terrenew, Modular Biosystems, BioSpherix, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Blue Highway, Albany Molecular, O’Brien & Gere, Advanced EarthEnergy Technologies, Corning, Northeast Biofuels and e2e materials, as well as speakers from Cornell University, SUNY Research Foundation, SUNY ESF and SUNY Upstate Medical University. More than 24 sponsors helped underwrite the event that attracted 130 people.
The 2010 event will focus on regional biotechnology start-up companies, and how to develop and attract them. The event will also provide an ideal opportunity to showcase the Central New York Biotechnology Research Center, a SUNY building that is currently under construction in the Kennedy Square section of Syracuse. When completed, the CNY BRC will serve as an incubator facility for more than 20 biotechnology companies, perhaps some of the companies participating in the 2010 symposium.

So what does a former industrial town in upstate New York do? Syracuse, quickly earning the accolade as “Emerald City” for environmental breakthroughs, staged a Healthy Buildings Conference for academic researchers and other professionals from architecture, building products and services, engineering, indoor environmental quality, public health, urban planning and environmentalist types.
And the timing couldn’t be better, report city insiders. Like so many manufacturing towns in turbulent times, old businesses have dried up—but Syracuse is using this reality to help bolster a new economy, one of sustainable development.
