This transformational gift will advance the region’s burgeoning life sciences economy by creating an anchor bioresearch and development facility on Hazelwood Green. The University of Pittsburgh BioForge, a biomanufacturing facility that will bring forward new innovations in cell and gene therapy, will serve as a growth engine for this forward-looking redevelopment in Hazelwood, attracting new companies and residents.
