UK, LifeSciKY partner to advance Kentucky’s life sciences innovation (UK Research)
Summary
The University of Kentucky, through its innovation arm UK Innovate, has announced a new partnership with LifeSciKY aimed at accelerating research translation, startup formation, and bioeconomy development across Kentucky. The collaboration seeks to link UK’s research strengths with LifeSciKY’s incubator infrastructure — including its forthcoming 15,000-sq ft wet lab at the OneNKY Center in Covington — to bolster access to lab spaces, map life science resources statewide, identify ecosystem gaps, and foster a connected “innovation corridor” for the Commonwealth.
