Life Science Company and Industry News Briefs

Texas, along with being the largest state in the continental U.S., has some of the top research institutions in the country. These institutions receive millions of dollars annually in life science funding, produce world-class research, and publish influential research papers. Two of these world-renowned research institutions include Texas A&M University and the Texas Medical Center. 

These two institutions have hundreds of life science researchers actively working on many ongoing research projects. Projects range from biology to chemistry, and from cancer research to agriculture, to name a few. 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 two of the top research institutions in Texas 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 January, 2016 are 2 premiere BioResearch Product Faire™ Events in Texas, providing ample opportunity for laboratory suppliers to market lab supplies to more than 600 active researchers at Texas A&M University and the Texas Medical Center.

Lab suppliers who attend these Texas events are able to:

• Demonstrate products to both purchasing agents and end-users.

• Answer questions, pass out samples, and discuss research projects to explain why your supplies are needed.

• Schedule follow-up appointments with top lead prospects to further their understanding of the benefits of using your products and services.

• Gain brand exposure in the academic marketplace while nurturing new and existing leads.

• Network with scientists from all life science fields, and with reps from a wide variety of laboratory supply companies.
