His newly developed device lets researchers analyze single cells in large numbers, helping them understand diseases and where to intervene.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s rare that a disease only affects a single cell type, and a good example of that is cancer, where inside a tumor there is much more than just the cancer cells themselves,\u201d Klein said. \u201cThey would not be able to survive without being fed from blood vessels, and they interact with immune cells, and with cells that lay down the matrix on which tumors grow.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can already see tremendous uptake of single-cell technologies in disease research across both academic and pharmaceutical research,\u201d he said, \u201cI expect that in the coming years we will find these methods central to identifying new therapeutic targets, developing biomarkers that predict which patients will respond to therapies, and identifying side effects of trial therapies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The device, which he created with support from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has been licensed to private industry, where it can potentially be brought to market and help patients.<\/p>\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Each dollar invested in research at medical schools and teaching hospitals generates $2.60 in economic activity.<\/p>\n<cite>Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce<\/cite><\/blockquote>\r\n\n<p>Groundbreaking work by Klein and other researchers across Harvard attracts hundreds of millions of research dollars to campus, and in turn, to Massachusetts. This means that federal funding plays a critical role in advancing impactful discoveries and in stimulating the regional economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Harvard community learns, teaches, and innovates in Massachusetts, harnessing the power of new ideas and discovery to solve challenging problems and contribute to the well-being of our communities,\u201d said Harvard President Larry Bacow. \u201cWe are proud of our strong connections to Massachusetts and the cities Harvard calls home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce, federal research funding is a critical building block in Massachusetts\u2019 knowledge-based economy. Each dollar invested in research at medical schools and teaching hospitals generates $2.60 in economic activity.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/community.harvard.edu\/files\/comm\/files\/2019_facts_and_impact_report.pdf\">Harvard University <\/a>attracted more than $800 million in research funding, with 70 percent coming from the federal government. This funding supported hundreds of millions in salaries and wages for Massachusetts residents, as well as purchases from local businesses, with more than $21 million directed to companies in Harvard\u2019s host communities of Boston and Cambridge.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the University\u2019s research enterprise, Harvard\u2019s 14 affiliated teaching hospitals \u2014 such as Boston\u2019s Children Hospital, Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital, and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center \u2014 attracted additional funding, helping keep Massachusetts at the forefront of cutting-edge health care.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis funding grows our economy and the investment of research dollars can be seen throughout Greater Boston and the commonwealth through new companies that generate innovation and sustain high-paying jobs,\u201d said James Rooney, president and chief executive officer of the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce. \u201cInstitutions like Harvard University are invaluable anchors for attracting this kind of investment.\u201d<\/p>\n\r\n\t\n\n\t<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide  size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2500\" height=\"1308\" src=\"https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/gazette\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/facts_impact_gazette_2500.jpg\" alt=\"Graphic showing impact Harvard has on local economy.\" class=\"wp-image-298951\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/facts_impact_gazette_2500.jpg 2500w, https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/facts_impact_gazette_2500.jpg?resize=150,78 150w, https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/facts_impact_gazette_2500.jpg?resize=300,157 300w, https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/facts_impact_gazette_2500.jpg?resize=768,402 768w, https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/facts_impact_gazette_2500.jpg?resize=1024,536 1024w, https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/facts_impact_gazette_2500.jpg?resize=1536,804 1536w, https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/facts_impact_gazette_2500.jpg?resize=2048,1072 2048w, https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/facts_impact_gazette_2500.jpg?resize=61,32 61w, https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/facts_impact_gazette_2500.jpg?resize=122,64 122w, https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/facts_impact_gazette_2500.jpg?resize=1488,779 1488w, https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/facts_impact_gazette_2500.jpg?resize=1680,879 1680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2500px) 100vw, 2500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><p class=\"wp-element-caption--caption\">\t\t\t<\/p><p class=\"wp-element-caption--credit\">Graphic by Dan Hassett-Salley\/Harvard Staff<\/p><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\n\t\r\n\n<p>In addition to external funding, the University invests institutional resources to help translate researchers\u2019 innovations into products and services that benefit the public good. For example, as of July 2019, more than $19 million in grants had been awarded to 108 projects through the Blavatnik Biomedical Accelerator. These projects, in turn, attracted an additional $36 million in industry-sponsored research funding and helped launch new Massachusetts-based companies such as Elevian, FogPharma, Macrolide Pharmaceuticals, Magenta Therapeutics, Mellitus, and Nocion Therapeutics, to name a few. In return, these companies attract venture capital, further adding to medical discoveries and stimulating the state\u2019s life-sciences ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>For Junying Yuan, Elizabeth D. Hay Professor of Cell Biology at HMS, funding from the Blavatnik Biomedical Accelerator helped pave the way for her breakthrough work on nerve cell damage \u2014 critical for the understanding and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer\u2019s and ALS \u2014 to reach the vital human clinical trial phase.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Harvard Innovation Labs in Allston have helped launch more than <a href=\"https:\/\/innovationlabs.harvard.edu\/about\/news\/2019-year-in-review\/\">1,600 ventures<\/a> in the past 10 years, providing valuable incubation space and advising to entrepreneurs across social enterprise, tech, and health care.<\/p>\n<p><em>To learn more, read the recently released annual report, <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/community.harvard.edu\/files\/comm\/files\/2019_facts_and_impact_report.pdf\"><em>Facts &amp;

This funding supported hundreds of millions in salaries and wages for Massachusetts residents, as well as purchases from local businesses, with more than $21 million directed to companies in Harvard\u2019s host communities of Boston and Cambridge.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the University\u2019s research enterprise, Harvard\u2019s 14 affiliated teaching hospitals \u2014 such as Boston\u2019s Children Hospital, Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital, and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center \u2014 attracted additional funding, helping keep Massachusetts at the forefront of cutting-edge health care.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis funding grows our economy and the investment of research dollars can be seen throughout Greater Boston and the commonwealth through new companies that generate innovation and sustain high-paying jobs,\u201d said James Rooney, president and chief executive officer of the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce. \u201cInstitutions like Harvard University are invaluable anchors for attracting this kind of investment.\u201d<\/p>\n"},{"blockName":"core\/image","attrs":{"sizeSlug":"full","align":"wide","id":298951,"caption":"","creditText":"Graphic by Dan Hassett-Salley\/Harvard Staff","blob":"","url":"https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/gazette\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/facts_impact_gazette_2500.jpg","alt":"Graphic showing impact Harvard has on local economy.","lightbox":[],"title":"","href":"","rel":"","linkClass":"","width":"","height":"","aspectRatio":"","scale":"","linkDestination":"","linkTarget":"","lock":[],"metadata":[],"className":"","style":[],"borderColor":"","anchor":""},"innerBlocks":[],"innerHTML":"\n\n\t<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide  size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/gazette\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/facts_impact_gazette_2500.jpg\" alt=\"Graphic showing impact Harvard has on local economy.\" class=\"wp-image-298951\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t","innerContent":["\n\n\t<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide  size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/gazette\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/facts_impact_gazette_2500.jpg\" alt=\"Graphic showing impact Harvard has on local economy.\" class=\"wp-image-298951\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t"],"rendered":"\n\n\t<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide  size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/gazette\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/facts_impact_gazette_2500.jpg\" alt=\"Graphic showing impact Harvard has on local economy.\" class=\"wp-image-298951\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><p class=\"wp-element-caption--caption\">\t\t\t<\/p><p class=\"wp-element-caption--credit\">Graphic by Dan Hassett-Salley\/Harvard Staff<\/p><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t"},{"blockName":"core\/freeform","attrs":{"content":"","lock":[],"metadata":[]},"innerBlocks":[],"innerHTML":"\n<p>In addition to external funding, the University invests institutional resources to help translate researchers\u2019 innovations into products and services that benefit the public good.

His newly developed device lets researchers analyze single cells in large numbers, helping them understand diseases and where to intervene.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s rare that a disease only affects a single cell type, and a good example of that is cancer, where inside a tumor there is much more than just the cancer cells themselves,\u201d Klein said. \u201cThey would not be able to survive without being fed from blood vessels, and they interact with immune cells, and with cells that lay down the matrix on which tumors grow.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can already see tremendous uptake of single-cell technologies in disease research across both academic and pharmaceutical research,\u201d he said, \u201cI expect that in the coming years we will find these methods central to identifying new therapeutic targets, developing biomarkers that predict which patients will respond to therapies, and identifying side effects of trial therapies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The device, which he created with support from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has been licensed to private industry, where it can potentially be brought to market and help patients.<\/p>\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Each dollar invested in research at medical schools and teaching hospitals generates $2.60 in economic activity.<\/p>\n<cite>Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce<\/cite><\/blockquote>\r\n\n<p>Groundbreaking work by Klein and other researchers across Harvard attracts hundreds of millions of research dollars to campus, and in turn, to Massachusetts. This means that federal funding plays a critical role in advancing impactful discoveries and in stimulating the regional economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Harvard community learns, teaches, and innovates in Massachusetts, harnessing the power of new ideas and discovery to solve challenging problems and contribute to the well-being of our communities,\u201d said Harvard President Larry Bacow. \u201cWe are proud of our strong connections to Massachusetts and the cities Harvard calls home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce, federal research funding is a critical building block in Massachusetts\u2019 knowledge-based economy. Each dollar invested in research at medical schools and teaching hospitals generates $2.60 in economic activity.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/community.harvard.edu\/files\/comm\/files\/2019_facts_and_impact_report.pdf\">Harvard University <\/a>attracted more than $800 million in research funding, with 70 percent coming from the federal government. This funding supported hundreds of millions in salaries and wages for Massachusetts residents, as well as purchases from local businesses, with more than $21 million directed to companies in Harvard\u2019s host communities of Boston and Cambridge.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the University\u2019s research enterprise, Harvard\u2019s 14 affiliated teaching hospitals \u2014 such as Boston\u2019s Children Hospital, Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital, and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center \u2014 attracted additional funding, helping keep Massachusetts at the forefront of cutting-edge health care.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis funding grows our economy and the investment of research dollars can be seen throughout Greater Boston and the commonwealth through new companies that generate innovation and sustain high-paying jobs,\u201d said James Rooney, president and chief executive officer of the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce. \u201cInstitutions like Harvard University are invaluable anchors for attracting this kind of investment.\u201d<\/p>\n\r\n\t\n\n\t<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide  size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/news.harvard.edu\/gazette\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/facts_impact_gazette_2500.jpg\" alt=\"Graphic showing impact Harvard has on local economy.\" class=\"wp-image-298951\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><p class=\"wp-element-caption--caption\">\t\t\t<\/p><p class=\"wp-element-caption--credit\">Graphic by Dan Hassett-Salley\/Harvard Staff<\/p><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\n\t\r\n\n<p>In addition to external funding, the University invests institutional resources to help translate researchers\u2019 innovations into products and services that benefit the public good. For example, as of July 2019, more than $19 million in grants had been awarded to 108 projects through the Blavatnik Biomedical Accelerator. These projects, in turn, attracted an additional $36 million in industry-sponsored research funding and helped launch new Massachusetts-based companies such as Elevian, FogPharma, Macrolide Pharmaceuticals, Magenta Therapeutics, Mellitus, and Nocion Therapeutics, to name a few. In return, these companies attract venture capital, further adding to medical discoveries and stimulating the state\u2019s life-sciences ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>For Junying Yuan, Elizabeth D. Hay Professor of Cell Biology at HMS, funding from the Blavatnik Biomedical Accelerator helped pave the way for her breakthrough work on nerve cell damage \u2014 critical for the understanding and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer\u2019s and ALS \u2014 to reach the vital human clinical trial phase.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Harvard Innovation Labs in Allston have helped launch more than <a href=\"https:\/\/innovationlabs.harvard.edu\/about\/news\/2019-year-in-review\/\">1,600 ventures<\/a> in the past 10 years, providing valuable incubation space and advising to entrepreneurs across social enterprise, tech, and health care.<\/p>\n<p><em>To learn more, read the recently released annual report, <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/community.harvard.edu\/files\/comm\/files\/2019_facts_and_impact_report.pdf\"><em>Facts &amp;
