In Iowa, we are committed to transforming the economy and strengthening our quality of life to continuously improve our state’s thriving business climate. As a result, Iowa is one of the most competitive locations in the nation for bioscience operations.
In 2004, the Battelle Memorial Institute’s Technology Partnership Practice reported that Iowa’s bioscience industry is a significant part of the state’s economy and positioned for much greater expansion. The report noted that research and development capabilities are established across ag-bioscience, animal science and human/medical bioscience and that the state’s universities continue to work on collaboration to help advance their bioscience work. Consider an exciting career in one of the following areas, identified by Battelle as Iowa’s platform of opportunity: BioEconomy; Animal Systems; Integrated Drug Discovery, Development, Piloting and Production; Advanced Food Products; Integrated Biosecurity; Integrated Post-Genomic Medicine and Biomedical Imaging.
Iowa offers employees an enviable quality of life. With our safe neighborhoods, affordable housing, easy commutes, excellent schools and clean environment, Iowa’s not just a great place to work, it’s a great place to live.
