Welcome to the University City Science Center, for the inaugural meeting of the AURP Bio Health Caucus and opening of BIO 2019 Philadelphia.

Across North America and around the world, hospitals, research universities, cities and regions are embarked on a journey to rethink ways to assemble health-related anchor

institutions, creating new technologies, developing biotechnology partnerships, and improving health outcomes.

Critical to the success of these efforts are ways to finance and build new research facilities, support the creation of health tech startups, encourage transdisciplinary partnering and organizing a region’s bio health assets.

What is the role of philanthropy in building new innovation facilities and companies? What cities in the US and elsewhere have leading bio health clusters? What are innovative medical companies like Johnson & Johnson, doing to leverage innovation? How does the new Opportunity Zone (OZ) legislation that promises $100B in new real estate and tech business equity investment affect bio health clusters? What’s the importance of intellectual property (IP) protection to growing bio health companies? How do we get everyone to work together to promote bio health clusters in cities and regions?

We would like to thank our speakers and attendees. We hope you enjoy the AURP Bio Health Caucus meeting and will continue to stay involved as we embark on this journey together.

Mark is a highly sought after thought leader in the field of public, private and university partnerships. He is invited to share his expertise around the globe presenting at conferences. Mark also served as host and closing speaker at the U.S. Department of Commerce SelectUSA Advance Tour Event (2017) hosting scientific collaboration discussions and providing the keynote presentation of the proposed UC Davis Aggie Square to the U.S. Embassy, Beijing Commercial Services officers and a delegation of senior representatives from over 25 Chinese life sciences, real estate development and real estate investment companies. The SelectUSA Investment Summit is the highest-profile event dedicated to promoting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the United States, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Commercial Services Division.

Mark has successfully attracted significant resources to key initiatives of UC Davis. Most recently, Mark has coauthored multiple State and Federal construction grants (NIH-C06 and CIRM) providing the University with over $30,000,000 in extramural funding for the renovation of existing buildings and development of new state of the art research facilities.

Mark’s passion and proficiency in facilitating collaborations between industry and academia resulted in the adsorption of all eligible industry partner space on the Sacramento Campus (over 50,000 square feet). His efforts motivated UC Davis Health Leadership to launch the new research park planning and development effort, known as Aggie Square, which has already garnered national attention for the University and Sacramento. What began as a UC Davis Health initiative was transformed into a UC Davis wide initiative through the vision of the then new UC Davis Chancellor, Gary May, who envisioned creating a similar environment to Georgia Tech’s Technology Square in Atlanta of which he was involved with while Dean of the Engineering School. Chancellor May encouraged Mark to engage with leadership throughout the University in the effort to identify colleges and schools on the Davis Campus that would benefit from joining Aggie Square. Through Mark’s efforts, Aggie Square has grown to over 2,500,000 square feet, has garnered endorsement and collocation interests by the other schools and colleges on the Davis Campus, many midsize and Fortune 500 companies (both domestic and international), as well as endorsement and $2,800,000 in financial support from the Mayor and City Council of Sacramento, the State of California Legislature, and the US Congressional Representatives.
