Jackson Laboratory plan will bring critical mass to Connecticut biopharma

The Connecticut General Assembly approved on October 26 Governor Malloy's plan to recruit the nonprofit Jackson Laboratory to Farmington, with the aim of creating over 300 direct and 7,000 indirect jobs over the next 10 years.

The measure passed 21-14 in the Senate and 101-41 in the House.

The new lab will be "an important complement to the existing Connecticut bioscience cluster, adding critical mass," said Paul Pescatello, president and CEO of CURE. "It will bring UConn to another, higher level of academic achievement, be a crtitical resource to our biopharma companies, and help knit Storrs, Farmington, and Yale/New Haven — our nascent research triangle — together."
