The University of Miami Life Science & Technology Park (UMLSTP), located at 1951 NW 7th Avenue on the east end of the Health District, is partnering with the Overtown Music Project and Lincoln Automotive in a special test drive event featuring Lincoln’s brand new lineup of 2013 hybrid vehicles.

"It's not luxury; it's smarter than that."

So says John Slattery, Lincoln's new hired gun spokesperson in the car manufacturer's "Smarter" campaign.

Slattery, who plays advertising executive Roger Sterling in TV's "Mad Men," would be proud of his new employer's latest online advertising move.

Today's grand opening of phase one at the new University of Miami Life Science & Technology Park is about more than the debut of a shiny new building by national research park developer Wexford Science + Technology.

 Recognizing that a truly international city requires a diverse economy capable of riding out down cycles, Miami is now turning to the life sciences and biotechnology sector as the proverbial “third-leg” of the economic stool – with the region’s proximity to the Americas playing a key role in that plan. At the center of this ‘big bet on biotech’ is the University of Miami Life Science & Technology Park (UMLSTP), a state-of-the-art research complex underway in Miami’s Health District.
