Aesku NY, Inc.

After several months of discussion, two New York State initiatives lined up to make this an easy decision for AESKU. First, the company was selected to be a member of the newly established New York Genomic Medicine Network, a collaboration between the NY Genome Center in Manhattan and UB, specifically its Center for Computational Research. This network links the medical community in New York City with the computational infrastructure at UB and the research community at Roswell Park Cancer Institute, as well as private sector partners such as Aesku.

To seal the deal for Buffalo Niagara, Aesku was accepted among the first round of START-UP NY companies, a State incentive program that eliminates all state-taxes for a 10-year period and encourages companies to partner with academic institutions. Aesku had a natural partner in UB and has established its newest offices and laboratories on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, projecting to create 31 new jobs and invest approximately $2.8M in new equipment.
