Science Market Update

Any science supply company can purchase a booth or tabletop display at a national or boutique science related trade show, send a sales rep and some literature, and if the  product is good  they will likely get leads. The best leads --the most eager, most relevant and most urgent leads-- usually convert to sales.  The best sales reps get more leads, follow up on them faster, and communicate the company's value proposition better, converting more of them to sales than their less competent counterparts.

Texas A&M University, College Station

The National Institute of Health recently awarded Texas A&M University with a $3.5 million grant to improve upon the laboratory research facilities in the Interdisciplinary Life Sciences Building.  The $100 Million facility opened its doors last year.  Improvement funding was aimed at divisions such as structural biology, molecular virology, and drug discovery.  It will add 12,000 square feet of space to the 200,000 square foot building.

UCSD receives more funding; total funding tops $1Billion for 2011.

New Rockefeller University Science Research Laboratory Opens

Rockefeller University recently opened the doors to a new university science research laboratory facility.  The $500 Million space will house 460 scientists.  The purpose of the 125,000 square foot complex is to add updated university science research laboratory space, as well as encourage collaborations between neighboring researchers.  One of the most active and progressive institutions in the nation, Rockefeller University boasts a history of 23 Nobel Prize Recipients and has a worldwide reputation for excellence in medical research. 

The University of California, San Francisco at Mission Bay is currently undergoing over $1 Billion in active facility construction projects.  These include the development of the state of the art Neuroscience Laboratory and Clinical Research Building and a new Medical Center building. Construction on the Neuroscience Building began last year and will be completed by 2012.  This building's location was strategically planned to facilitate collaboration between physicians, clinical researchers, and scientists.
