GeisterBio, Inc., a U.S. life sciences company founded by Austrian entrepreneur Noah Geister, is expanding its operations in Winston-Salem. The company plans to establish a lab and quality control operation at One Technology Place in the Innovation Quarter and make its first two local hires within the first six months. It projects 8-12 jobs over the next three years.
“A location in the Innovation Quarter is strategically important because it places our work near the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine, the Regenerative Medicine Engine in North Carolina, the Wake Forest University School of Medicine, and other key partners, while providing access to the regional life-sciences talent and supplier network,” says GeisterBio founder and Chief Executive Officer Noah Geister.
GeisterBio recently received a $250,000 Seed Project Award from the Regenerative Medicine Engine in North Carolina, which supports the development and commercialization of regenerative medicine technologies. The NSF-funded Regenerative Medicine Engine is led by the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM) and connects companies with specialized infrastructure, technical expertise, workforce resources, and commercialization support across the region.
