The move into our new headquarters is a critical milestone in our growth and we thank everyone who has helped us reach this point, including the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center, our employees, partners and shareholders.”

Susan Windham-Bannister, president and CEO, Massachusetts Life Sciences Center, said, “InVivo Therapeutics was one of our earliest investments, and we are so proud to see the company expanding in both size and scientific impact. We are pleased to welcome InVivo to their new facility, and look forward to future developments as they advance their important research here in Massachusetts.”
