"In Delaware, we are fortunate to have such a high level and a diverse mix of life science companies and organizations-both large and small-that not only provide quality jobs in our state but that also provide technologies, science and services that help improve the quality of life for individuals worldwide," said Bob Dayton, President of the Delaware BioScience Association. "Our life sciences companies represent a dynamic and growing industry that helps strengthen and diversify Delaware's economy."
