On Nov. 5, Henry Ford Hospital celebrated the grand opening of its three clinical and research labs that were recently moved to TechTown in New Center.
The labs will allow room for the hospital's genetics department to grow by providing dedicated lab space for DNA and cytogenetic diagnosis. Additional room for a drug discovery laboratory will explore new options for cancer treatment of solid tumors. The TechTown space on TechOne's fourth floor is nearly triple the size that was occupied on Henry Ford's main campus.
Dr. Barry Wolf, the chair of Henry Ford's genetics department, says that while the space issue was the primary reason for the move, a secondary one was talent and personnel opportunities that TechTown can offer.
Approximately 40 to 50 Henry Ford employees have made the move. Read more about the development here.
