Hudsonalpha Genomic Services Lab Joins Discovery Life Sciences To Form Hudsonalpha Discovery

By HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology

The HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology announced that the HudsonAlpha Genomic Services Lab (GSL) has signed an agreement with Discovery Life Sciences to form a new division of that company, HudsonAlpha Discovery. The move will build on the success of the Institute in developing a top-of-the-line sequencing lab by adding the global reach of Discovery Life Sciences and its sales force. This expands the reach of the Institute and brings more high-quality biotech jobs to the thriving campus.

The HudsonAlpha Discovery division will be entirely on the HudsonAlpha campus and will continue providing its full line of services for the Institute’s research initiatives and external projects. Shawn Levy, Ph.D., director of the GSL, will continue in his role as a HudsonAlpha faculty investigator and will serve as Chief Scientific Officer, Genomics at Discovery Life Sciences.

“When I came to HudsonAlpha nine years ago and founded the GSL, I knew I was coming to an institution that was dedicated to innovation and creativity. There was no doubt that HudsonAlpha was going to make great strides in the field of genomics,” said Levy. “It is exciting to build on the success the GSL team has had over the last nine years and take a new step with HudsonAlpha Discovery to broaden our capabilities and reach globally.”Through the creation of HudsonAlpha Discovery, Discovery Life Sciences will be expanding its presence at HudsonAlpha, becoming the largest resident associate company. Over the next three to five years, it is anticipated that HudsonAlpha Discovery will create up to an additional 100 new job opportunities, building on North Alabama’s reputation as a biotech hub of the Southeast.
