Wistar is planning a $5-to-8-million renovation of 12,000 square feet of unused administrative space at its Spruce Street headquarters for the new center, which will have labs and specialty rooms for analyzing radioactive materials and tissue cultures.
Wistar was founded in 1892 as the nation’s first independent biomedical research institution. It is not part of a health system or university, which means it must partner with outside organizations to continue its research beyond early-stage discovery.Through the new Center for Advanced Therapeutics, Wistar hopes to forge stronger partnerships with pharmaceutical companies to advance drug development.
