Join Virginia’s top academic research leaders for an in depth discussion about the future of biotech in the Commonwealth of Virginia and how collaboration is key to success. This new model will facilitate innovation and commercialization among these institutions and beyond that will benefit local communities, regional economic development, and global healthcare.

Virginia is poised to enter a new phase of biotech research and discovery. The University of Virginia has recently announced the groundbreaking of the $300M Paul Manning Center. Additionally, VCU, ODU, and VT have their own flagship projects. With the Commonwealth poised to make an additional $90M investment in these centers over the next two years, the conversation is geared toward collaboration and collective impact.
