The Richard King Mellon Foundation has announced funding to support the development of the new Pitt BioForge at Hazelwood Green. The $100 million gift is the largest single-project gift in the foundation's history. The new biomanufacturing facility is expected to draw Pitt research already underway for such cutting-edge approaches as gene and engineered cell therapy, microneedle and other novel therapeutics and delivery technologies, and the development of micro- and nano-antibodies.
