Governor Deval L. Patrick and the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center (MLSC) today announced nearly $6 million in grants to support lifesciences-related capital projects in the City of Boston, including $5 million for UMass Medical School’s MassBiologics to fund major lab and facility renovations. Grants were also awarded to The UMass Boston Venture Development Center and The Venture Café. This is in addition to more than $900,000 in funding that the MLSC announced this past December for equipment and supply grants at vocational technical schools and public high schools in the Boston area.
