New Collaborations, Incubators Aim To Breathe Life Into Maine’s Biosciences

A group of three bioscience-focused nonprofits say they plan, through mutual cooperation and by housing very early-stage companies and researchers, to boost the state’s biotechnology business acumen and national status.

The new life sciences collaborative, known as the Life Sciences Group, or LSG, was started by the MDI Biological Laboratory in Salisbury Cove, Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences in East Boothbay and the Foundation for Blood Research in Scarborough. The plan is to open the LSG to other bioscience labs and companies. For example, Kennebec River Biosciences, a commercial aquatic animal health and testing services company in Richmond, is now the fourth member of LSG.
