BOSTON, Nov. 20, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Nan Fung Life Sciences Real Estate (NFLSRE) announced the opening of its first U.S. office and the appointment of Matthew Powers as Chief Executive Officer.

"We see this as an important next step in expanding Nan Fung's footprint in Life Sciences," said Vincent Cheung, Chairman of Nan Fung Life Sciences and COO of Nan Fung Group. "Nan Fung recognizes the unique real estate needs of the life sciences sector and this announcement highlights our commitment to providing best-in-class solutions to life sciences tenants."

Greater Boston, with its prestigious research universities, elite hospitals, and globally competitive workforce, is the headquarters or operational center for hundreds of life sciences companies. From incubators and drug discovery and device startups to major company campuses, the need for innovative, scalable space is a top strategic priority.

Earlier he worked for venerated biotech pillars Genzyme and Genetics Institute, the latter being acquired by the pharmaceutical giant Wyeth during his tenure.
