Universities + Research Institutions
Bioscience companies and academic research institutions have always had a deep symbiotic relationship—and this symbiosis is particularly strong in Colorado. Many of the nation’s top-rated research institutions are located here, with a high concentration in Northeast Metro Denver. Fitzsimons is proud to be home to five of these national leaders (see list below).
A healthy partnership between academia and the private sector carries significant benefits for everyone involved. Private bioscience firms can participate in clinical trials within a few blocks of their labs, and researchers are rewarded with a steady stream of new ideas and more opportunities for collaboration. It’s a critical union that ultimately helps foster great new ideas—and speed the transformation of these ideas into novel commercial therapies. In 2006 alone, the University of Colorado produced more than 100 new bioscience patents—learn more about them on our Tech Transfer page.
