IBB AND BIOHOUSTON
IBB and BioHouston work together to help convene people and organizations in the life science industry, communicate information and explore opportunities, and catalyze discoveries and commercial developments. As a result IBB members promote and attend many of BioHoustons’ events. BioHouston is a non-profit organization founded by Houston-region academic/research institutions to establish the Houston region as a vigorous global competitor in life science and biotechnology commercialization. BioHouston's mission is to create an environment that will stimulate technology transfer and research commercialization, generating economic wealth for the Houston region and making it a global competitor in life science commercialization. For more information about BioHouston visit their website here.
