NSU opens $100 million center for Collaborative Research

Nova Southeastern University (NSU) welcomed South Florida A-listers to the grand opening of their $100 million state-of-the-art research facility.

On Sept. 21 NSU opened their Center for Collaborative Research (CCR), one of the largest research facilities in Florida, located in their Davie campus.

“The CCR is purposely designed for researchers, students and industry to come together, pool resources and develop effective and innovative solutions in healthcare, bioinformatics, technology, cybersecurity and business,” said NSU President Dr. George Hanbury.

The guest list included Davie Vice Mayor Susan Starkey, Judge Jeffrey Levenson, President of AutoNation Marc Cannon, and Indianapolis 500 Champion Ryan Hunter-Reay. 

Inside the 215,000 square-foot research center, there are five institutions that focus on breast and tumor cancer research, cell therapy, natural and ocean sciences research, and neuro-immune medicine

Adjacent to the university’s Health Professions Division complex on NSU’s Davie campus the six-story high research center holds an investment of $100 million in Broward County.

The CCR “is a key part of achieving a larger vision to further integrate higher education research, business and healthcare for the benefit of the residents of Broward County, South Florida and beyond,” said Hanbury.

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
