Turning Philadelphia's world-class science into the next generation of biotech ventures
Nucleate Philadelphia connects graduate students, postdocs, and early-career scientists with the resources, mentorship, and community to turn research into companies. Anchored in one of the nation's leading life science ecosystems, including the University of Pennsylvania, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, The Wistar Institute, Drexel University, Temple University, and Thomas Jefferson University, and a major hub for cell and gene therapy, the chapter bridges academic labs, technology transfer offices, investors, and industry. We host events, help form founder teams, and support translational ventures through Nucleate's programs, so Philadelphia's discoveries can reach patients.
