Spectrum Health has opened a new facility in Michigan to support its clinical trial efforts, research programs and academic opportunities, Grand Rapids Business Journal reported Friday.
Rachel Weick writes that the Spectrum Health Basic and Translational Research Laboratories is a 9,000-square-foot renovated laboratory at the Cooper’s Landing building.
The company’s employees will have access to molecular and cell biology research training tools at the facility, according to the report.
“I think that having brought new research opportunities to the region will actually help us bring in and educate students, and then, hopefully, entice them to want to stay in the area and increase the professionalism and level of education in the area,†said Sandra Rempel, Spectrum Health’s vice president of research.
Spectrum Health has also appointed Kirstan Meldrum, Giselle Sholler and Ahma Samer Al-Homsi to help oversee laboratories and research work in the building.
