COVINGTON, Ky. – LifeSciKY has announced a new partnership with Cleveland-based Project Medtech that will benefit the early-stage life sciences companies coming to Northern Kentucky’s only dedicated nonprofit lab incubator.
As a leading life science consultancy, Project Medtech will equip LifeSciKY Lab Residents with crucial opportunity assessments – evaluating commercial viability, risks, funding potential, and the competitive landscape. This collaboration extends to specialized business advisory services across strategic finance, operations, regulatory pathways, and market entry, providing vital support for sustainable growth and scalability.
“This partnership will provide our Lab Residents with a valuable resource to accelerate product development and navigate regulatory complexities but in a cost-effective way,” said Dr. Christin Godale, Executive Director of LifeSciKY. “Project Medtech brings both expertise and scalability to our startups, and we’re thrilled to collaborate with them and bring them into Northern Kentucky’s growing life-sciences ecosystem.”
LifeSciKY, a lab incubator dedicated to accelerating science, entrepreneurship, education and economic development in Northern Kentucky, will be opening its state-of-the-art lab facility in Covington’s OneNKY Center later this year. The 15,000-square-foot lab will provide affordable lab space and essential resources to empower innovators and advance groundbreaking work.
“As a Kentucky native, I’m particularly excited about this partnership between Project Medtech and LifeSciKY,” said Jamie Easterling, Chief Commercial Officer at Project Medtech. “We are eager to assist the talented Lab Residents as they strengthen their businesses, execute their innovative visions, and build a strong, long-term presence in the Commonwealth.”
LifeSciKY aims to position Northern Kentucky as a nationally recognized hub for life sciences by providing entrepreneurs with a place to innovate, grow, and succeed and by working with regional and national partners to elevate the life sciences ecosystem.
“This partnership with LifeSciKY fits perfectly with our mission to create an ecosystem where medical technology companies thrive. We’re excited to expand into the Northern Kentucky market and help Lab Residents propel their growth forward as they find innovative solutions to improve patient lives,” said Duane Mancini, CEO at Project Medtech.
