UMass President Robert L. Caret and Dr. Susan Windham-Bannister of the MLSC joined other local and state leaders on December 6, 2012, in Fall River to mark the end of the first stage of construction of the Massachusetts Accelerator for Biomanufacturing at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth (the MAB).
Roughly 120 construction jobs have been created – just a down payment on the permanent, high-paying jobs created after the MAB‘s completion next fall, when it will anchor a growing SouthCoast Life Science and Technology Park starting in January 2014.
