On revenues genrated in this category? NJ is number 1, Pa is 2, CA is three?
huh?
Pharmaceuticals accounts for less than a quarter of the biotech indiustry:

The Four Major Sectors of Biotechnology
Quote:
The biosciences industry sector is defined as including the following four subsectors: Agricultural Feedstock and Chemicals; Drugs and Pharmaceuticals; Medical Devices and Equipment; and Research, Testing, and Medical Laboratories.
Kansas and Texas flexed their biotech muscles in Business Facilities’ annual Rankings Report, released today.
Kansas has been ranked the #5 state in the nation in Biotechnology Strength. The 2010 ranking is a major leap forward for the Sunflower State, which ranked ninth in the biotech category last year and tied for 10th in 2008. Texas surged from sixth place to second place in the Biotechnology Strength ranking, firmly establishing the Lone Star State as a major national hub for bioscience-related industries.
According to Business Facilities Editor-in-Chief Jack Rogers, the upward movement by Kansas in biotech was one of the most significant improvements measured in the national publication’s annual rankings this year. “Biotechnology Strength is one of our most important and fiercely competitive rankings categories,†Rogers said. “Kansas clearly has shown that it is a biotech force to be reckoned with, and it has staked a claim to a leadership position for years to come.â€
Business Facilities factors more than two dozen criteria into its annual biotechnology ranking, including an assessment of state-funded research and development programs, interaction with institutions of higher education, and major projects announced within the past year.
Perennial biotech king California, which boasts the strongest university-based biotech research network, repeated as the top ranked state in this year’s biotech ranking. Pennsylvania, which topped this category in BF’s 2008 rankings, placed third, followed by Massachusetts.
Texas has continued to build its biotech industry, notching a 35 percent increase in biotech-related facilities and an 11 percent increase in total bioscience employment, according to the 2010 Battelle/BIO State Bioscience Initiatives report. Battelle reported that Texas now has nearly 3,000 biotech facilities and about 65,000 bioscience workers.
“We were particularly impressed by the amount of R&D funding for biotech in Texas (approx. $2.5 million) and the number of higher education degrees in bioscience, which exceeded 10,000,†Rogers said. “Texas not only is building a biotech manufacturing base, it is growing a skilled workforce to support it.â€
Rogers cited the Kansas Bioscience Authority as a key driver in the Sunflower State’s remarkable progress in moving up the national biotech ladder. “Kansas has an impressive and expanding program, spearheaded by the Kansas Bioscience Authority (KBA), that brings together industry, higher education and government in a coordinated, targeted effort,†Rogers said.
Rogers called KBA’s stewardship of a $581-million biotech investment fund “a uniquely focused and highly successful effort†that has made Kansas a national center for animal health research, a leader in pharmaceuticals and an emerging player in bioenergy.
Already established as the epicenter of a national Animal Health Corridor, Kansas has been awarded with a trifecta of major government biotech research facilities, including the $650-million NBAF biodefense lab, the Arthropod-Borne Animal Disease Research Lab, and the Center of Excellence for Emerging and Zoonotic Animal Diseases at Kansas State University.
The NBAF, which will be the nation’s premier biodefense facility, is under construction in Manhattan, Kansas, which was cited by Business Facilities as #2 in this year’s ranking of the top 10 metros for Economic Growth Potential. “The research undertaken in Manhattan will continue to grow in importance. KBA has put in place a solid foundation for exponential development that will lift the entire region,†Rogers said.
Here are the complete Biotechnology Strength results:
This isnt soley about Bio, This is about healthcare/medical/bio - and the Bio is as it relates to medicine, you are off topic, how is agriculture in the mix - yes TX may be be very good there
and on your above it is actually the opposite - Bio represnts less than 30% of the Pharmacuetical/Medical sector - you are way off topic again HTown
you are comparing different Bio aspects not related to healthcare - that is the point of this thread. Why are you introducing non related industries?

lmao, what the heck are you taking about?
My first biotech research project was agricultural, we were working on a gene that made plants take up nutrients faster. That is biotechnology son. biotechnology does not equal pham. just because that is one tiny area in which you Texas is not as strong you are clinging to t for dear life.

Pham accounts for less than a quarter of biotech.
We kick ass in the other over 75%
HTown this thread is about Healthcare - not agriculture and yes Bio (medical/Health related) is a component and yes there is Biotechnology in other fields but this thread is about healthcare/medical etc., but in healthcare it is more and more apparent you have no idea what you are talking about
I am glad to hear to that Texas does intetresting things in agriculture - start another thread but how does it fit this threads topic?
Did you read the original post and question posed?

first you say Houston only has healthcare and that is not what the thread about, now you say that the thread is about Health care?
how many times were you dropped as a kid?
the thread is aboutMedical/Health/biotech
biotech involves agricultural engineering as well as medical engineering

comprende?
I do, you do not - the thread is about Healthcare in general, Biotechnology as an aspect in specifically healthcare (not agriculture or non helathcare industries) is a component.
Biotechnology is a technology used in many industries - this topic is "Healthcare" and related medical and biotech aspects
I have NEVER said only Houston has healthcare, omg you read what you want to see and only use points beneficial to you. Seriously please re-read the topic so you understand, you dont even make sense a lot of the time
I said provide results examples of where TX belongs among the top 5 in this area and you are providing the example of agriculture...
Who has the coolest blue shirt, well I really like my green one

lol I never said that you said only Houston has healthcare, I said you said that Houston has only health care. stop turning lies
and stop jumping from topic to topic looking for a win. you are not gonna find it.
Texas is in the top 5 get over it
