US life sciences firm Mapi Life Sciences has taken space at Imperial College London’s White City Campus, W10.
It has moved into the Translation & Innovation Hub (I-HUB) on the 23-acre site, which provides flexible office and lab space for businesses looking to turn cutting-edge research into new products and services.
James Karis, chief executive of Mapi, said: “The chance to be part of this research ecosystem and the scientific community that calls London home was a key factor in our decision to locate at the I-HUB.”
Dr Eulian Roberts, chief executive of Imperial College London ThinkSpace, which operates the I-HUB, said: “Mapi is a fantastic addition to the I-HUB. It is committed to putting the patient at the heart of healthcare research and driving improvements in the way that medical treatment is delivered and experienced.
Earlier this year it was announced that OGCI Climate Investments, a $1bn (£776m) start-up focused on advancing low-emission technology, would be the first tenant at Central Working White City – a new collaboration at the I-HUB between Imperial College London ThinkSpace and Central Working.
The I-HUB is also home to a business incubator for lab-based start-up and spin-out companies, such as Polymateria, a company that has developed a fully biodegradable plastic.
