On June 29, UC Berkeley announced the launch of the Life Sciences Entrepreneurship Center, or LSEC, making it the latest addition to the Innovation and Entrepreneurship ecosystem. Darren Cooke, executive director of the center, said the program is made possible by a gift from alumni Mark and Stephanie Robinson, as well as a donation from professor David Kirn and his wife Kristin Ahlquist. According to Cooke, the LSEC will serve life science entrepreneurs in three ways: navigation of the resources at UC Berkeley, education around entrepreneurship and promotion of new life science startups. Faculty director Rich Lyons said he worked closely with donors Mark Robinson and Kirn to conceptualize the LSEC. He said the “remarkable assets” on campus were not working together as well as they could be, and the LSEC aims to alleviate that divide.
