MANSFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS-January 22, 2020- Mansfield Bio-Incubator is pleased to announce a new member company, Oncovolution LLC, joining our growing life science ecosystem south of Boston. Oncovolution, an early-stage biotechnology company, is developing a new generation of high precision delivery oncology products. These products promise to be highly efficacious and less toxic than current cancer modalities. Oncovolution’s work in Mansfield Bio-Incubator will focus on optimizing several lead candidates to undergo preclinical studies, using our state-of the-art shared BSL-2 laboratory space. We are also grateful to Oncovolution for making several key pieces of laboratory equipment available to present and future member companies. These include PCR machine, HPLC instrument, plate reader, table-top centrifuge and a variety of other small laboratory equipment.
“We are happy to know that this life science incubator space exists south of Boston” said Dr. Mario Di Paola, Founder of Oncovolution”. “When I stepped into Mansfield Bio-Incubator for the first time, I liked the space immediately and the staff was so welcoming and accommodating; all of this at a very competitive price. I live in Scituate, so getting to Mansfield Bio-Incubator was a breeze. It took me only about 50 minutes, travelling mostly against traffic flow, as opposed to nearly 2 hours it would take me to get to a previous job north of Boston, during peak travel time. Even getting to Cambridge, it would take me at least 1 hour 30 minutes by car, and possibly longer by public transportation. While people are psychologically drawn to Cambridge because of the high density of biotech and biopharma companies, talent is dispersed throughout the state and certainly within the South Shore and surrounding areas. Many of the scientists I know would love not to have to commute into Cambridge; therefore, I am very confident that I can attract the right talent while being here.”
