Milford life sciences company Waters Corp. will open a research laboratory in Cambridge’s Kendall Square, the company announced on Tuesday.
The laboratory will be called Immerse Cambridge, and is aimed at helping Waters partner with academia, research and industry, according to a press release. Cambridge, home to Harvard University and MIT, is known for its robust scientific research community.
The announcement comes just three weeks after the company’s new CEO, Udit Batra, assumed his role at the helm of Waters Corp. Before he joined Waters, Batra was CEO of Boston life sciences company MillporeSigma, a subsidiary of Merck KGaA of Germany.
"Immerse Cambridge will house the latest analytical instruments and technology from Waters and will allow us to offer the deep expertise of our scientists to partner with the biotech community to innovate, collaborate and interrogate biology in new ways," Batra said in a press release.
A major project slated for the lab will center around co-developing improved influenza vaccines with researchers from Boston University, according to Waters Corp.
