Speaking Out

Kentucky Governor, Stephen Beshear
Nucleus is a key ingredient in the equation of becoming a major metropolitan research institute. The success of a research park like Nucleus brings with it new companies, personnel and corporate income taxes that enhance our economy not only in Louisville but all across the state.

Louisville Metro, Mayor Abramson
I think Nucleus is one of the biggest opportunities this community has ever had. Great universities make great cities. The stars are aligned with the leadership at UofL, the commitment of the business community and the commitment of the state of Kentucky. Nucleus is creating an opportunity for investment for the kind of knowledge based jobs, for the kind of startup biotech and life sciences companies that can make a difference for generation to come in Louisville.

Greater Louisville, Inc. (GLI) CEO, Joe Reagan
The whole point of Nucleus is to capture the great translational research that is going on at the University of Louisville and to turn that research into new companies, new products, new technologies that ultimately create jobs and wealth in this community.

U.S. Senator, Mitch McConnell
The University of Louisville has asserted itself as a leader in life sciences and I am proud of its research achievements that have bettered the health care for Kentuckians and provided better job opportunities for people in our state. Nucleus will give the scientific leaders in the Commonwealth the tools they need to be a primary center for discovery for medical professionals nationwide.”

U.S. Representative, John Yarmuth
By creating a cooperative environment for the excellent work and innovation being done in Louisville, Nucleus takes our community where we want to go and grow. Much of the groundwork that makes this investment in our future possible was laid by business and community leaders. It is exciting to see Nucleus branch out with such strong support across the state.
