The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) defines 10 geographic regions, as identified by the numbers and colors on the above map.
The regions are not bioclusters themselves. Because the U.S. is so vast and diverse, we decided to bring you information on U.S. bioclusters within these 10 regions, rather than simply by the alphabetized states, which range from Alabama (Region 4) and Alaska (Region 10) to Wisconsin (Region 5) and Wyoming (Region 8).
What makes a specific geographic area a biocluster? What defines a successful biocluster? What are the factors that improve the odds of success? These are discussed in our article Introduction to Bioclusters.
Bioclusters generally include ten types of organizations as shown below. The vastness and diversity of the U.S. biotech industry makes this a daunting task. We will be making our way slowly, starting with those most recognized as "top" biocenters. You will find them grouped within one of the 10 regions identified on the map above. You can see a list of the regions by name as well as number, and a listing of each state within the region with the state's common two-letter designation HERE.
As we develop them, links to U.S. biocluster information will appear below.
