Testimonials
“Hopkins is allowing companies to benefit from the intellectually stimulating environment of an academic setting. For a small company, I can think of no greater opportunity than to be part of a community with other small companies having similar interests, and perhaps more importantly, with Johns Hopkins, one of the premier universities in the world.” “Being surrounded by many bio-tech and pharmaceutical companies has given us the opportunity to collaborate in research. Equally as important, it has allowed us to begin collaborating with Johns Hopkins.” “We are quite excited about the opportunity to be part of a well-planned campus that intends to provide integrated teaching, research, and business activities in the greater Washington area.” “Sharing a location with a university gives us access to tremendous resources and a deep talent pool. Meanwhile, there’s cache associated with the Hopkins name which helps our recruiting and PR efforts.” “We are extremely excited to be a part of JHU’s Montgomery County Campus. The energy, collaborative environment, and business synergies that we experience in this campus’s academic and business community are essential to the success of our company. Having received my MBA in Finance from the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School, I am delighted once again to be associated with one of the most prestigious universities in the world.” “The strength of the biotech industry in Montgomery County makes it a natural location for our company’s expansion. The Johns Hopkins University campus is perfect for us because we can lease a small office space as we establish our presence and easily expand in place as we grow during the coming year.” “Being physically located on the Montgomery County campus of the Johns Hopkins University offers many advantages. The entire JHU staff has made it a priority to integrate the research industry and academia into a common physical location and made the corporate ‘partners’ really feel like we are a part of the campus. Facilities available to us include direct access to one of the very finest libraries in the world, an auditorium, and classroom or conference room settings, if needed. In addition, as a member of the adjunct graduate faculty for the past 10 years, this location allows me to continue to teach with the ease of merely going next door and provides similar easy access for students to visit me,” he added. “I can’t imagine a better all-around situation.” | “We were delighted with the opportunity to move on to the Johns Hopkins Montgomery County Campus, which is at the epicenter of the local biotechnology community. Location is key to a successful business, and this location was difficult to match.” “Johns Hopkins University is a leader in the development of the I-270 biotechnology corridor, and being here is a wonderful opportunity to create valuable synergies.” “Johns Hopkins University has enjoyed a unique intellectual richness and diversity for years, and we wanted to be a part of that legacy. In addition, the JHU Montgomery County Campus is close to many leaders and front-runners in the field of biotechnology, including drug development companies, NIH, and FDA, scattered around the I-270 highway. Even more important, the Campus provides a nurturing environment where scientists can interact freely in the hallway or even at a parking lot, which is rarely seen in a tight business-minded place.” “We love the academic feel of being on Hopkins’ campus. The Shady Grove Life Sciences Center is an excellent location for any biotechnology company, and the Johns Hopkins name brings with it additional prestige. We really like the vision that Hopkins has of creating a big biotech hub, and we like being in the middle of what’s going on.” “The benefits of being here have surpassed our expectations. We’re able to make essential connections and find new partners, and the high energy of a learning environment has a positive and stimulating effect on our staff.” “The distinguished tradition of JHU in medicine and medical research makes it an ideal host institution for BRNI laboratories. The Shady Grove campus, under the extraordinary leadership of Elaine Amir, offers a unique environment that conducts academic programs within the world-class biotechnology center of the Gaithersburg-Rockville areas.” |
