Biotechnology Calendar Company Events and News

UPenn Stays at the Top for Cutting Edge Lab Research

Written by BCI Staff | Mon, Sep 17, 2012

It seems like when we look to the University of Pennsylvania for our Science Market Update blog series, we never encounter just so-so news. It’s always something pretty astounding and potentially game-changing. For example, today’s blog on a chem-nanotech collaboration that’s led to a huge improvement in methane catalysis presents a very timely solution to a major environmental and economic problem. Read the article.

Another recent (and very popular) Penn blog of ours reported a breakthrough in 3D bioprinting. If you didn't get a chance to read it, you can find it here.

 

Philadelphia is a hotbed of biomed and biotech activity, with several major universities, an industrial infrastructure that’s productively shifting to cleaner biotech businesses, and the strong backing of city and state government agencies to support and commercialize university intellectual capital through initiatives like the incubator/startup space at University City Science Center. Read an early blog of ours on the active urban research park next door to Penn.

We hold two back to back shows annually in Philly, with the next shows taking place in May on these dates:

5/15/2013 - Thomas Jefferson BRPF Front Line event at Thomas Jefferson University

5/16/2013 - Philadelphia BRPF at the University of Pennsylvania

As you probably know by now, you can register for any of next year’s shows through next week (September 22, to be exact) and secure the guaranteed lowest price of the year on that event PLUS get a bonus Extended Attendee List for each package purchased. Last year we welcomed about 450 research attendees at our Penn show, and about 50 at the smaller Thomas Jefferson Front Line event (which is all biomed and already about 25% sold out for next year).

Make sure these Philly shows are part of your sales travel plans for next year. We just know 2013 is going to be a great year for sales, and we can help you realize that forward motion with new and strengthened contacts in some of the top US academic research markets. Sign up to exhibit at our 2013 shows!
