You missed many of the Phjarma companies either headquartered or their main US operations headquartered in the Philly/NJ/NY belt
AstraZeneca
GSK (split between Philly and RTP)
Endo
Cephalon
Pfizer (NYC and Philly)
Merck
JNJ
Shire
Sanofi Aventis
Novartis
Forrest
BMS
Celgene
Novo Nordisk
Eisai
Teva (largest producer of pharmaceutical products in the world)
Plus probably 100 smaller pharma cos and more than 250 service companies affiliated in servicing the Pharma/Bio/Healthcare industries
If you say pure healthcare including Pharma and Bio - then this area is by far the most influential. Many of the companies doing the research in Boston for example are owned and operated out of this region.
Also from a device standpoint the region is also the capital, NJ and even Reading PA are pioneering in this area (Device is a technical term and can include things like brain stimulation etc. as cutting edge as just about anything)
The main belts for this include
the Philly/NJ/NY region largest by a wide margin
Boston (Bio tech and research Genzyme, Millenium, Biogen/Idec, Oscient, Amag, Acceleron, Novartis Biologics group etc.)
Chicago (Especially the strip north of the city Abbott, Baxter, Takeda, Tap etc.)
Bay Area (Genetech (really Roche still with NJ operations) Gilead and some other small ones)
San Diego (La Jolla Area many biotechs)
Thousand Oaks (Amgen)
Seattle/Vancouver (many smaller and developing bios)
RTP
Indianapolis (Lilly)
DC Rockville (Otsuka and some other development cos)
Orange County (Allergan botox baby)
Texas (Ft Worth with some derm cos)
There are others but these would be key
The other part is the NIH Dollars do not tell the whole story some types of research require more money for the same outcome so Boston for example benefits from great genetic and bio funding which takes more dollars) The NIH also funds a behaviorial study in Alabama which is producing great results in depression on a very small budget just as one example...
Just like any other industry follow the dollars back to the parent corp
And remember in the PA Philly area (not NJ which has even more) there more than 250K employed in medical research plus more than 50K employed in Pharmaceutical headquaters, you list Merck as Jersey, the north Wales PA campus employs 5 times those at the Jersey location, JNJ has major operations for their biologics group in Horsham PA just to name a few)
Even maybe the most exciting product from an innovation standpoint with Dendreons Provenge (will revolutionize cancer treatment) was developed in Seattle but is being run and marketed out of the jersey office, why, becuase this is where the concentration of people and expertise to run Pharma business is. look at Genetech and Amgen (They have been bringing the talent pool from this area to run these companies to CA, 75+ percent of their senior leadership is from jersey or Philly)
I only included a few headquarter companies from each region and public ones for the most part because its easier to confirm their size. Pfizer for example may have branches in Philly but its headquarters is in NY. Dendreon is headquartered in Seattle but has a manufacturing plant for Provenge in Georgia (it will be interesting to watch them and Human Genome Sciences' BENLYSTA drug (first treatment for lupus in 50 years)). Novaritis also has a $600 million plant in North Carolina, the state is known for manufacturing drugs. To do that for everyone is a bit much.
I didn't want to include foreign companies with US headquarters like Teva or Qiagen, that would take more time but you get the jest of it.
So what multibillion dollar biotech/pharma companies are in Texas and what is the size of the biotech industry there? How are they doing with commericalization?
Georgia also has some votes, I'd like to know what's going on there that people voted for it?
and HTown i said dont substantiate Texas as a top 5 solely on the TMC, that is not enough to be a top 5 state, let alone a top 5 city as a stand alone facility (and YES I KNOW there are other hospitals in houston)
you missed my point, I said why are you basing it solely on TMC when there are other research centers in Houston, Galveston, Dallas , etc.

The largest Pharma/Bio cos in Texas are Alcon and Galderma - both primarily in Derm, Galderma is a division of French Nestle Corp headquatered in La Defense Paris
In GA there is Solvay (major finacial issues recently from failed CNS pipeline) and UCB (which has decent growth), and the CDC but honestly would not put GA as a top 5 either

I haven't voted, but I'm guessing the CDC & Emory may be the main reasons for Georgia.
The CDC has been continually expanding in recent years, with huge new highrise labs and a new remote campus.
This is also the HQ's of the American Cancer Society.
These links seem to give a pretty comprehensive view of things here: Bioscience (http://www.metroatlantachamber.com/content/IntPage.aspx?Id=58&SId=9&independent=true - broken link)

I think Pennsylvania will be in the top 5: the opening post mentioned the greater Philadelphia area; but Pittsburgh as well is emerging as a bio-tech center along with The Pennsylvania State University with a strong presence in the middle of the state.
