Life Science Company and Industry News Briefs

In the hearts of San Francisco, Berkeley, and Davis new technologies are constantly being discovered and developed. Biotechnology Calendar, Inc. is hosting BioResearch Product Faire^TM events in these three cutting-edge, technologically advanced cities, back-to-back this summer. Attending these events at UC Davis, UC Berkeley and UCSF Parnassus will get you face time with hundreds of life science researchers and provide you the opportunity to network with as well as educate them about your innovative products. Last year, exhibitors met with nearly 600 researchers in this $3 Billion marketplace. Biotech innovators return every year to these three events to meet with new potential clients. Exhibitors and attendees alike all believe these three shows are well worth their while:

The University of Michigan just opened a new $261 million, five-story, 312,000 square-foot science building. This impressive building will mostly feature wet and dry lab work, housing the university's departments of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, as well as Paleontology. The building also includes an area with advanced plant growth facilities, a team-based classroom on the first floor that seats 138 people, and two specimen laboratories.

The University of Michigan provides their researchers with state-of-the-art facilities and encourages their researchers to be innovative with support and gratitude. At $1.5 billion in total R&D, the University of Michigan is the top public university in research spending in the United States. Life science research receives more than $826 million of that funding. 

Lab Suppliers and service providers are invited to Biotechnology Calendar, Inc.’s semi-annual event at the University of California, San Diego, where R&D funding topped $1.2 billion in the 2018 fiscal year.

Duke University is ranked 8^th in research and development expenditures, with more than $1.1 billion in funding. A majority of that funding, specifically $950 million of it, goes directly to Life Science research. This is an exciting campus to spend the day networking with researchers, PIs and purchasing decision makers. There is always a good turnout at this show- last year we had 275 attendees!

The University of Massachusetts, Amherst ranks third in Massachusetts for research funding from the National Science Foundation, behind only MIT and Harvard University. With over $210 million in research funding for the 2017 fiscal year, UMass Amherst is consistently ranked among the top public research universities in the nation.

Funding Facts:

• Total R&D $210.4M in 2017
• Life Science funding $74.2M in 2017
• Over $1.3B spent on campus improvements since 1999

There are over 60 campus-based research centers and institutes at University of Massachusetts Amherst. A few of the featured institutes and centers in the life sciences and health are:

• Institute for Applied Life Sciences
