b'every single one of their companies, says Johnson. It comes through in every interaction that theyre very invested in the success of their Community members. I dont think we would have felt that if wed chosen to build somewhere else. Its a complete intangible to be in a space where they care about the relationship and not just the space theyre renting to you. We also couldnt find a turnaround time like the one weve had here. To go from we want to open an office and lab to moving in within six months is unheard of, and yet, here we are readyto occupy our new space.So, what does the future look like for RefinedScience in their new Bioscience 3 home? The company began with a focus on hematology and blood diseases, specifically Acute Myeloid Leukemia which led to a spinout company, OncoVerity. Now, as they grow, RefinedScience is focused on expanding their datasuites into other diseases, including solid tumor research and the autoimmune space. Growing into these new areas provides the opportunity for additional spinoff companies and partnerships with pharmaceutical companies. Johnson says, The OncoVerity spinout allowed us to demonstrate our proof of concept. Now we can continue to expand knowing our technology is making a marked difference in meeting previously unmet patient needs.Getting their start at CU Innovations Startup Foundry lends the new RefinedScience lab space a grassroots ambience. Its a new home, but theyre still surrounded by the experts and consultants they know and trust, plus a campus with the amenities theyve come to love. With three or four employees working in their lab, it is a small organization making huge inroads into data analysis and drug trials. While they commend Fitzsimons Innovation Community for their efforts in relationship building and collaboration, we applaud them right back for keeping patient care and disease eradication at the heart of everything they do. Symbiotic relationships have become a tradition on our campus, and were proud to be part of this one with RefinedScience. Coffee with a Cause: Now Availableat Fitzsimons Innovation CommunityCoffee shops are always a welcome addition to any community, and this was especially true when Change Please Coffee opened their newest caf on the Fitzsimons Innovation Community campus. Life sciences professionals tend to be big purchasers of coffee, but when they find out that their coffee dollars are going to supporting an amazing cause, they get even more excited. Change Please Coffee is a social enterprise built on the idea that great coffee can be used as a catalyst to help people who are experiencing homelessness. Their business model involves hiring unhoused individuals and teaching them how to be baristas so that those employees can use the skills gained working at Change Please as a jumping-off point for careers in hospitality, restaurants, customer service, and more. This coffee shop has already settled in, and Fitzsimons Innovation Community is so glad to have them here.
