Go Big or Go Home: John Flavin talks Texas-style life sciences with innovation leaders Tom Luby and Sarah Hein from Texas Medical Center Innovation in e.018. New developments in Houston are setting the stage for accelerated growth in the start-up ecosystem. Investments being made by member institutions such as MD Anderson, Baylor, Texas A&M, Texas, Rice and others into innovation platforms and top-tier applied researchers means: more commercialization of new drugs and devices is on the horizon. TMC is building the infrastructure and community to create the conditions to allow for rapid scaling of the ecosystem.
