Vanderbilt was named one of the best places for life scientists to work in academia by The Scientist magazine. It was the seventh time in the eight years of the survey that Vanderbilt was ranked and a substantial improvement from its 2009 ranking. 
Vanderbilt was ranked No. 12 in a list headed by Princeton University and including Stanford, Georgia Institute for Technology and St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. In 2009, Vanderbilt ranked No. 34 in the survey.

With a major research institution like Vandy being ranked so high, there should be no reason we cannot build a burgeoning life-sciences industry to complement their research.
Firms like Biomimetic Therapeutics and Advanced BioHealing are already here.
Along with Vandy, they have build it, and others will come.
