Life Science Company and Industry News Briefs

The state of Georgia is a leading research marketplace in the Southern United States. Life scientists working at prominent institutions throughout the state are continuously making important contributions to their fields. These leading institutions receive millions of dollars annually in life science funding to help support scientists produce world-class research and publish influential papers. Two of these world-renowned research institutions in Georgia include the University of Georgia in Athens and Emory University in Atlanta.

These two institutions have hundreds of life science researchers actively working on many ongoing research projects ranging from biology to chemistry, and from cancer research to agriculture, to name a few of the many fields scientists work within. With so many researchers from different labs investigating such a variety of fields, it can be hard for the researchers to get too far away from their labs to find the supplies they need to move forward with their work. Biotechnology Calendar, Inc. hosts prominent life science events at these two top research institutions in Georgia each year. These BioResearch Product Faire™ Events bring together active, highly-funded scientists with companies able to supply these researchers with the best and newest tools available to further their research.

Coming up in March, 2016 are 2 premiere BioResearch Product Faire™ Events in Georgia, providing ample opportunity for laboratory suppliers to market lab supplies to hundreds of active researchers at UGA and Emory.
