| Why Maryland? |
Although MarketReach America will be drawing
industry and investment participants from all
over the United States, here are some of
the reasons why Maryland is the natural venue
for a life sciences conference:
|
|
Maryland has the fastest growing bioscience
cluster in the United States. Each year, more
than $9 billion in federally funded R&D is
conducted in Maryland.
|
|
Ranked second in the States in biopharmaceutical
innovation.
|
|
Home to 350 bioscience companies conducting
biopharmaceutical discovery, developing new devices,
diagnostics and research tools, and breaking
new ground in bioinformatics. Some well-known
Maryland companies: MedImmune, Human Genome Sciences,
Advancis, GenVec, Martek, Shire U.S. Manufacturing,
and Gene Logic.
|
|
Home to key federal agencies, such as the National
Institutes of Health (NIH), Food and Drug Administration
(FDA), and National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST).
|
|
World-class research universities, such as
John Hopkins University and the 11-campus University
of Maryland system.
