Universities + Research Institutions

Bioscience companies and academic research institutions have always had a deep symbiotic relationship—and this symbiosis is particularly strong in Colorado. Many of the nation’s top-rated research institutions are located here, with a high concentration in Northeast Metro Denver. Fitzsimons is proud to be home to five of these national leaders (see list below).

A healthy partnership between academia and the private sector carries significant benefits for everyone involved. Private bioscience firms can participate in clinical trials within a few blocks of their labs, and researchers are rewarded with a steady stream of new ideas and more opportunities for collaboration. It’s a critical union that ultimately helps foster great new ideas—and speed the transformation of these ideas into novel commercial therapies.
