ILSE is an integrated research facility and network that will accelerate life sciences innovation in medicine, devices and other technologies to improve human health. ILSE identifies and attracts scientific innovators, entrepreneurs, investors and business leaders and bring them together in a manner unique to our region to:

• Foster the identification of early innovation and expedite its translation into medically and commercially viable solutions
• Develop a culture of entrepreneurship and train the next generations of entrepreneurs

ILSE works in partnership with affiliated academic and biomedical institutions to accelerate and extend progression of their early innovations into high-value assets for third-party licensing and commercialization. ILSE was conceived as an accelerator and integrator, designed such that innovation flows in through its network of affiliates and is then matured and strengthened through a value chain of resources to produce development-stage assets. Programs exit via licensing to industry partners or as the focus of a new company, also returning value to ILSE, its affiliates and investors.
