The Las Vegas Biotech & Life Sciences Ecosystem

Las Vegas and Southern Nevada are emerging as a significant biotech and life sciences hub. The region is home to the UNLV Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine, University Medical Center (Nevada's only Level I Trauma Center), Touro University Nevada, the Desert Research Institute, and a growing number of biotech startups and pharmaceutical companies. Nevada's business-friendly environment, no state income tax, and strategic location make it an attractive destination for life sciences companies. BioTech Vegas is the central organizing body connecting professionals, companies, and institutions across the Southern Nevada ecosystem.
