She said the University hopes to develop half of that square footage within the next five years. “There’s a real sense of urgency to get this research going,” said Russ Porter, Harvard’s administrative director of the life sciences. Porter said the labs will be designed to facilitate interdisciplinary stem cell research with the intention to ensure that all aspects of the research can take place in one building. “They’re looking...
