Atlanta's Strength in Bioscience
Atlanta has a thriving bioscience community with special strengths in health IT, medical devices and vaccine development.
The site of the world's largest bioscience conference in 2009, the BIO International Conference, Atlanta benefits from the presence of the headquarters of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the American Cancer Society and the Arthritis Foundation. With strengths in healthcare information technology, medical devices and vaccines, Atlanta has been ranked nationally in nanomedicine.
Atlanta is often referred to as the nation's health IT capital and is at the forefront of consumer digital health. There are more than 135 healthcare IT companies in Georgia and that number continues to rapidly rise.
Atlanta has the world’s foremost eminent scholar in vaccine development. A world-class research facility, the Emory Vaccine Center, conducts fundamental and clinical research to develop effective vaccines against infectious diseases.
