A life sciences hub — featuring the University of Maryland Institute for Health Computing (UM-IHC) — is slated to be part of the North Bethesda Metro station redevelopment proposal that was announced July 29. “We're here today because metro stations are not just a stop where people get on and off of transit, on buses or trains.
