According to Upstate employers, Life Sciences is the sector of the Upstate economy that is most likely to see job growth and private sector investment in the next 4 years. That makes sense, given the enormous amount of academic R&D work that is being conducted in the Life Sciences by Upstate universities such as Cornell University, the University of Rochester, SUNY Albany and SUNY Buffalo. Collectively, the top research universities in Upstate spend about $2.3 billion annually on R&D - over half of which is allocated to the Life Sciences.
So far, so good.
