Terasaki Institute to Move into Former Weider Building

According to Amy Stulick, reporter with San Fernando Valley Business Journal, the Terasaki Institute, a Los Angeles biotech nonprofit, plans to transform the former Weider Health and Fitness Center in Woodland Hills into a biomedical research and development facility.

According to a statement from Terasaki, the two-story, 50,000-square-foot building at 21100 Erwin St. will be designed to accommodate teams of scientists focused on developing bioengineered systems, medical devices and other products with biomedical applications.

“The facility will be able to house up to 200 employees, along with equipment to enable tissue engineering and regeneration; biofabrication using 3D printing; nano- and micro-engineering; stem cell engineering; and the creation of human organs on chips,” reports Stulick.
