AMDeC

AMDeC (Academic Medicine Development Company) was a prominent New York-based consortium of leading academic medical centers, universities, and research institutions. Established to promote collaboration among its members, the organization focused on advancing biomedical research, technology transfer, and clinical trials within the New York region. AMDeC was well-known for developing shared infrastructure, such as the AMDeC BioRepository and a centralized registry for research resources. By leveraging the collective expertise of institutions like Columbia University and Mount Sinai, the consortium aimed to accelerate the translation of scientific discoveries into medical treatments. The organization also played a key role in securing state funding for large-scale scientific equipment and facilities. Although it was a vital part of the New York life sciences ecosystem for nearly two decades, the organization is currently inactive.
