Most people in the life science industry know that Southern California is home to some of the nation’s leading research universities, such as UCLA and UCSD, However, did you know that University of California, Irvine is another leading life science powerhouse that spends $200 million annually on research & development?

If you do business in the California life science industry, you should consider UC Irvine area for your next promotional event venue. UC Irvine is home to hundreds of life science professionals who are currently engaged in research projects that could benefit from the latest technology and lab supplies.
