The Tampa Bay region is gaining in global reputation as a growing hub
for research and development in the life sciences thanks to
collaborative partnerships between West Central Florida colleges and
universities, such as the University of South Florida and its new CAMLs
project in downtown Tampa, and emerging private industries. Leading the
public-private efforts: Draper Laboratory, SRI St. Petersburg, Merck,
the Roskamp Institute and the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center &
Research Institute.
