Improving the health and well-being of Kansans and beyond. 

Kansas’ investment in the life sciences continues to attract biotech companies from around the globe. 

16,000+ Kansans employed in the biosciences

From the University of Kansas’ nationally recognized drug discovery and development enterprise, to the state’s historical agricultural leadership at Kansas State University, to the selection of Kansas as the home of the USDA’s National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility, the bioscience sector in Kansas is strong and provides value and opportunities for bioscience companies who do business in the state. Working with partners such as BioKansas, the state of Kansas offers comprehensive support for world-class research, commercialization, business start-ups and business expansions. 

Kansas provides an infrastructure that fosters creative thinking and innovation to advance new technologies that help improve the health and wellbeing of people, animals and other living things.
