Florida: #10 BioTech State

Florida moved up just one tiny notch in a key state-by-state ranking of biotechnology business centers, but it was a move that placed it in a group the industry is bound to notice.

The Sunshine State edged upward to 10th place from 11th, eclipsing Washington, which has a biotech hub in the Seattle area, according to the Ernst & Young Global Biotechnology Report. The report, released recently at the Biotechnology Industry Organization convention in Chicago, is widely used as a barometer of how regions of the country, as well as the world, fared from one year compared to the next, and how they compared to each other.
