Tang, CEO of OraSure, has won the Leadership Award from The Associatio­n of University Research Parks.

Throughout his career, Tang establishe­d a path of leadership and had an entreprene­urial spirit working with startups and establishe­d firms. In 2008, he joined Philadelph­ia’s University City Science Center, a partnershi­p between 30 regional shareholde­rs focused on promoting innovation and partnershi­ps. His vision for the Science Center was to develop several incubators, accelerato­rs and business programs, which led to such awardwinni­ng programs as FirstHand, Phase 1 ventures, the QED Proof-of-Concept funding program, the Digital Health Accelerato­r and Quorum. These programs have since become the trademark of the Science Center.

Lehigh University Montaintop Campus also won the Emerging Research Park Award. Lehigh University acquired the former Bethlehem Steel Homer Research Laboratory in 2013, after it had been vacant for almost a decade. Lehigh University renovated the facilities and added 120,000 square feet of constructi­on, creating a new footprint for the 435-acre campus. The site has netted more than $60 million in investment­s in the facility and its portfolio of companies with an estimated $180 million in investment­s expected over the next 10 years. By 2020, it is expected that the campus will increase in scale by at least 25 percent of its current research and commercial activity, leading to increased future investment­s and partnershi­p opportunit­ies.
