Mispro Expands Boston Footprint with Contract Vivarium Facility at Southline
'With each new facility, we're investing in more than square footage—we're expanding access to a smarter, de-risked model for in vivo research,' said Yohan Tessier, President & COO of Mispro.
Located within Southline's 700,000+ square foot life sciences campus, the new facility expands Mispro's support for early- and growth-stage biotechs across Greater Boston. As the first company to introduce the contract vivarium (CV) model to the metro area, Mispro remains a critical partner to venture-backed startups and established programs seeking speed, control, and reproducible data in preclinical development.
'With each new facility, we're investing in more than square footage—we're expanding access to a smarter, de-risked model for in vivo research,' said Yohan Tessier, President & COO of Mispro. 'The contract vivarium option reduces infrastructure burdens while keeping scientific control where it belongs, which is with the biotech teams who are driving discovery forward.'
Southline is also home to Portal Innovations, a leading early-stage venture firm and life sciences incubator. The proximity of Mispro's vivarium services offers immediate operational advantages to Portal's member companies and other tenants.
'Having Mispro onsite brings in vivo capacity directly into the heart of our ecosystem, giving early-stage teams immediate access to high-quality preclinical capabilities,' said Portal's Executive Director in Boston, Tatiana Yglesias. 'This streamlined access supports lean operations, accelerates timelines, protects IP, and meaningfully de-risks development—key advantages in today's fast-moving and capital-conscious funding environment.'
To date in 2025, 75% of biotech M&A activity has involved companies conducting studies in Mispro facilities. The company currently supports 45 Boston-area biotechs and continues to grow alongside the region's expanding R&D ecosystem.
'This expansion reflects our commitment to enabling science that moves—not just forward, but faster,' added Tessier.
Mispro's Southline contract vivarium facility is set to open in October. Learn more about the location here.

Hundreds of people in New Hampshire have had their property sold out from under them by scammers. Here's why
The FBI in Boston reports that between 2019 and 2023, New Hampshire homeowners were scammed out of more than $4 million in quit claim deed fraud. Quit claim deeds transfer an owner's interest in a property to another party and releases the owner from any future claims of ownership over the property. Scammers can forge these deeds in order to sell the property, take out a mortgage, or rent it to unsuspecting tenants. Local ABC news station WMUR 9 in New Hampshire reported that 239 people were victims of deed fraud in between 2019 and 2023 and that homeowners must take steps to protect themselves — particularly if they own any vacant properties. Here's what to know and how to ensure you're not the victim of this kind of scam. I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 6 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says this 7-step plan 'works every single time' to kill debt, get rich in America — and that 'anyone' can do it The FBI reports that scams of this type tend to target vacant lands or homes, properties with liens, or vacation homes and properties owned by people living out of state. Here's how it works: Scammers called 'title pirates' forge documents for the quit claim deed transfer without your knowledge. They then attempt to have the forged documents recorded with the county's register of deeds. They also forge identification to take advantage of remote closings, so they never have to present themselves in person. The scammers look for properties using public records, searching for vacant parcels of land, or properties that don't have a mortgage. They can impersonate the owner and contact an unsuspecting real estate agent to list the property. Many homeowners whose properties have been listed for sale don't find out until after the sale has gone through. The FBI found that some victims are even elderly family members of the fraudster. These relatives are convinced to transfer the property into the name of the scammer without a clear understanding of their rights. While unoccupied properties are the most common targets, it's possible for fraudsters to target your family home. If you are the victim of this type of scam, also known as home title theft, you may find yourself heading to court to prove that you're the legitimate owner of the property. 'Folks across the region are having their roots literally pulled out from under them and are being left with no place to call home. They're suffering deeply personal losses that have inflicted a significant financial and emotional toll, including shock, anger and even embarrassment,' said Jodi Cohen, special agent in charge of the FBI Boston Division. 'We are urging the public to heed this warning and to take proactive steps to avoid losing your property. Anyone who is a victim of this type of fraud should report it to us.' Read more: No millions? No problem. With as little as $10, here's of diversified assets usually only available to major players According to the FBI report, many victims of this kind of scam don't know where to report it, or are too embarrassed to come forward. Some may not even realize they've been scammed. Nationwide, 58,141 victims reported $1.3 billion in losses relating to real estate fraud between 2019 and 2023. Massachusetts is a hotbed of real estate crime, with 1,576 victims losing $46,269,818 in that time period. One of the best ways to protect yourself is to ensure you have a Homeowner's Policy of Title Insurance. reports that while traditional title insurance policies protect against fraud before a purchase happens, this newer protection covers theft after you own the property. They note that while insurance can't prevent scammers from forging a deed in the first place, a comprehensive policy puts the onus on the insurance company to resolve the fake title claim in court. You can also pay for a service to monitor your title, or register with your county to be alerted if any documents are filed in your name. A growing number of counties are offering this service for free in response to the rising rate of fraud. Finally, the Attorney General's Office also recommends that homeowners regularly visit their properties and ask neighbours to check in periodically on any vacant homes. You can also set up a Google alert for your address to see if it shows up on realtor websites and check social media regularly for the same reason. If you need to report deed fraud, you can call the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Hotline at 1-888-468-4454.

Red Sox president Sam Kennedy says team has ‘blessing from ownership' to be buyers at the trade deadline
In a follow-up, Kennedy said that everyone is 'absolutely' on board with adding players, even if it requires a strong cash commitment.

'We have the same mindset right now that we had in November, December, January, February, and March, that led us to what we felt was a very productive and aggressive offseason. So full-stop, simple answer. Advertisement 'But there is a second part of that answer that we have to be realistic. If we don't go out and do the right things, work, and win baseball games over the next couple of weeks, we're not going to be in a great position. So we need to start playing better baseball, get back to .500 and winning series to put ourselves in a position to add to this club at the deadline and go take a run at it.'

An increasing share of American adults are going hungry
More Americans are going hungry, per new data from Morning Consult. The big picture: It's a shocking data point for the wealthiest country in the world, and comes at a time when the stock market is hitting record highs and President Trump just signed a bill slashing food benefits. The rise is like a slow-moving train wreck, says John Leer, chief economist at Morning Consult. "There's such a disconnect now between record highs on Wall Street and elevated levels of food insecurity." Zoom in: The share of adults who tell Morning Consult in monthly surveys that they sometimes or often don't have enough to eat — or are food insecure — has been creeping up over the past several years. In May, 15.6% of adults were food insecure, almost double the rate in 2021. At that time Congress had beefed up SNAP benefits and expanded the Child Tax Credit driving down poverty rates, and giving people more money for food. Zoom out: The rate appears higher than pre-pandemic levels. Morning Consult's data only goes back to 2021. However, federal data that measures food insecurity, and roughly lines up with Morning Consult's findings, shows the numbers were already above pro-COVID levels back in 2023. Demand for food is up 120% from three years ago at the Philadelphia-area food bank network where George Matysik is executive director. As soon as the government support pulled back in 2022, "we started to see the numbers go up," says Matysik, who is with the Share Food Network, which serves hundreds of thousands of people. Demand just continued to rise from there, along with grocery prices. Between the lines: Congress just passed a huge cut to food benefits, or SNAP, that is likely to make the situation far worse, says Matycik. The "big, beautiful bill" pushes states to provide more funding for SNAP, and tightens work requirements for benefits. Before, adults over age 54 weren't required to work; now the age limit is 64. And fewer parents are exempted from working, as well. It's expected that millions will lose benefits, and more would receive less. People will have less money for food, further driving folks to food banks, which had already been dealing with different spending cuts from the White House. Reality check: Some of the cuts to SNAP, involving state funding, don't take effect until 2028 — raising the possibility that they might not happen. The data also looks a bit volatile, bouncing around quite a bit — it spiked at the end of 2024, and it's not clear why. It is likely a reflection of how precarious it is to make ends meet for folks at the lower end of the wage scale — some are in hourly jobs with fluctuating schedules, which can be rough on one's personal finances. The other side: The White House and congressional Republicans argue that cuts to these benefits are a way to push more people into the labor market and reduce dependence on government assistance, as well as an effort to reduce waste, fraud and abuse.
