FastForward, the program designed to move academic findings and translational research into the commercial marketplace, is expanding, with a second facility opening in East Baltimore to provide lab and office space for startups. The first accelerator, FastForward Homewood, at the Stieff Silver building, was opened by the Whiting School in June 2013, and today it houses nine startups from across the university. The second incubator, FastForward East at the Rangos Building on North Wolfe Street, will be more closely tied to the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, the Bloomberg School of Public Health, and the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing.
