Which Metro is the Leading US Biotech Center? (place, Boston, raise)

[TheseGoTo11]

VC money, research advancements, commercialization of therapies, other factors, which region do you think is the leader?

We've broken this one down quite extensively before.

It's hard to dispute that the answer is San Francisco, then Boston, then NYC.

Worth another look with COVID bringing the industry into the spotlight.

Biotech is Boston period.

Tech in general is SF first.

SF outraises Boston in Biotech VC though.

Depending upon how you break it down, this is either Boston or SF/Bay Area. I don't think there's a definitive answer but they're undoubtedly the top 2 in either order.

That’s ignoring NIH funding though

Why argue? Just look it up. There are other sites that place them differently, but this one seems pretty legit.

Maryland has biotech as well.

Looking at commercialization here. Johns Hopkins, Pitt, Wash U/St Louis are leaders in NIH grants, but Baltimore, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis are not leaders in growing biotech companies. Similar trends with Yale/New Haven, UAB/Birmingham, AL, others.
