Other News Precision Biopsy is the first commercial tenant to move into the Fitzsimons Redevelopment Authority’s new Bioscience 2 building, which recently opened. The 3,839-square-foot custom-built space allows Precision Biopsy to expand from the prebuilt lab it occupied in Bioscience 1 as the company initiates a global commercialization strategy for its real-time tissue classification technology used in prostate biopsy procedures. Located adjacent to the Anschutz Medical campus in Aurora on property that the University of Colorado purchased from the FRA, Bioscience 2 is a 112,000-sf multitenant building that will combine university activities with commercial uses. “We are very excited to be the first company to move into this new facility. This space will allow us to expand our resources to bring our ClariCore Optical Biopsy system to market, providing us with the opportunity to potentially help the millions of patients who undergo prostate biopsy procedures each year,” said Amir Tehrani, CEO of Precision Biopsy. University of Colorado tenants will occupy the first two floors of Bioscience 2 with the university’s bioengineering program and two other university entities while the third and fourth floors will be home to FRA commercial organizations.
