bioLOGIC Corp LLC is a life science accelerator par excellence.
Put simply, bioLOGIC helps life science companies thrive, whether in therapeutics, diagnostics or instrumentation.
And with offices from Covington, Kentucky and Fort Collins, Colorado to Shanghai, China and Melbourne, Australia, bioLOGIC has quickly built strong global ties since its founding in 2007 when cofounders Nigel Ferrey and Dr. Ray Takigiku decided to start a life science management and investment firm.
But true to its Northern Kentucky roots, bioLOGIC has made its 4,500 square foot space in Covington its home base.
With an all-star credentialed team of experienced in-house experts from across the life sciences, bioLOGIC offers clients an array of services, from strategic consulting to Board representation and executive level management.
Its list of clients is equally impressive. Some notables include
Bexion, PrimeDP, PHD Diagnostics,
Neocytex and
Charleston Labs.
Ultimately, bioLOGIC is there "to accelerate a company to commercialization," says Margaret van Gilse, Vice President of Business Development at bioLOGIC.
When asked how business is doing in this economy, van Gilse assures, "bioLOGIC is doing
fine."
This hardiness can be attributed to the greater Cincinnati area's thriving life science field.
"Cutting edge life science research and a talent pool of gifted scientists, who want to stay in this region, are two of the key advantages that the greater Cincinnati area contributes to the growth of life science companies," van Gilse says.
Recognizing this potential, bioLOGIC helps it bear fruit through regular collaboration with
Northern Kentucky Tri-ED,
Northern Kentucky ezone, the
City of Covington,
Northern Kentucky University, the
University of Cincinnati and more.
With its talent for helping life science firms with these bare essentials, bioLOGIC is not only doing fine, they're growing.
Alongside a push to raise funds to expand the Russell Street lab for PHD Diagnostics, a subsidiary diagnostics company, bioLOGIC also plans to hire 10 new high tech jobs over the next three years.
Ultimately, these plans are moving forward.
"Life science companies are no different than companies in other industries," van Gilse says. "A novel idea, a good management team and capital are the foundations to grow a company. The life science companies that are thriving in the Greater Cincinnati area are those companies that have been able to combine novel ideas with talented people and have raised money to move toward commercialization."
The very things bioLOGIC can help with.
