5 Life Science Companies Drive Innovation in Lone Star Bio - Link

- BioSpace’s Alex Keown
 
 

"A single star may adorn the Texas state flag but the life sciences ecosystem is comprised of a galaxy of brightly shining companies such as FUJIFILM Diosynth BiotechnologiesTaysha Gene Therapies and Veravas developing innovative new medicines, diagnostics and medical devices.
 
The growth of the quickly rising Lone Star Bio life sciences hub is fueled by financial support from the state government in the form of the multi-billion dollar Cancer Prevention Research Institute of Texas fund and the drug discovery research coming out of the state’s universities. Baylor College of Medicine and Texas A&M headline the list of academic powerhouses." - BioSpace’s Alex Keown
