Lab suppliers marketing life science products and lab products in California may want to take a closer look at the wealth of funding available at the University of California, Los Angeles. Biotechnology Calendar, Inc. has put together an article spotlighting NIH, NSF and other research funding statistics at the university that prove how well funded the University of California, Los Angeles market is. If these funding statistics sound attractive, Biotechnology Calendar, Inc. encourages lab suppliers to consider attending our UCLA life science marketing events.

According to the University of California, Los Angeles website, UCLA has received 1 billion dollars every year for the past three years for research projects. Their research webpage states: “At UCLA, our 290 medical research centers and distinctive institutes are defining the role of a great research university in the 21st century. After all, this is where the Internet was born. Where desalination was developed in its first practical form. And where technology is reshaping our world — from software clouds that monitor electric vehicle charging stations to devices that deliver transplant organs warm and beating.”
