Local CEO Seeks to Build Life Sciences Park in Southwest Philly

Philly Life Sciences - University City

While most passersby see only a weedy and thrash-strewn vacant lot, where some people have abandoned cars and others park still functioning ones, Tia Lyles-Williams sees an opportunity for something big in Southwest Philadelphia. 

“My vision is to create a life sciences park with drug manufacturing, workforce development opportunities and affordable housing,” said Lyles-Williams, the founder and CEO of LucasPye, a Philadelphia biologics contract development and manufacturing organization. “We want to create something that lets the community here actively participate in the life sciences industry, and reap the rewards in terms of employment, income and education.”
