Academics to be Featured at the 2013 BIO Alliance Pavilion
I think it safe to say that the U.S. biotechnology industry has its R&D roots in the laboratories of great research universities with great science and visionary researchers. These cutting-edge, biology-based research and industry commercialization efforts continue to be the key drivers in moving invention into innovation to heal, fuel and feed the world. Because of this essential knowledge-driven relationship, the 2013 BIO International Convention will again bring together academic and research colleagues to focus Read More >
