For at least three days this month, Philadelphia will be the Silicon Valley of biotech.
Nearly 40 startups and small businesses funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) with innovative biomedical technologies based on fundamental research will be in Philadelphia June 15-18 at the 2015 BIO International Convention, the world's largest gathering of the biotechnology industry.
The companies will be part of the Innovation Zone, a 5,000-square-foot exhibit space dedicated to businesses with cutting-edge biomedical technologies supported by NSF's Directorate for Engineering.
