Molecular Diagnostics
A New Frontier
Minnesota—with Rochester and the Twin Cities as its biotech industry anchors in the Southeast portion of the state—is poised to become an international center for molecular diagnostics and personalized medicine.
A network of academic, research, clinical, and biobusiness thought-leaders and technical innovators—including Minnesota-based Beckman Coulter, Inc., 3M, and Ativa Medical—are already collaborating to fully exploit the life-saving and industry-changing potential of diagnostics.
With Mayo Clinic’s heightened concentration in this sector and the world-class manufacturing and logistics support available at IBM in Rochester, those in the rapidly expanding diagnostics sector will find more and more ways to thrive in Southeast Minnesota – and more and more reasons to locate at Elk Run.
Just 15 minutes from Rochester, home of the Mayo Clinic and IBM, the Biobusiness Park at Elk Run offers access to:
- unparalleled expertise and research & development support
- rapid prototyping and manufacturing services
- supercomputing facilities
- a worldwide logistics network
The Bottom Line
Elk Run offers a new frontier for biotech innovation, just as molecular diagnostics is the new frontier for revolutionizing medical care in the U.S. Tower Investments, LLC, the developer of Elk Run recognizes that this sector offers incredible promise for creating highly effective screening and diagnostic tools, designing new and improved treatments, predicting patients’ responses to treatment, and creating specific plans for life-long wellness. Tower highly values this groundbreaking work, and places a special emphasis on making Elk Run a home for those in the molecular diagnostics industry.
Molecular diagnostics companies require a highly educated and committed workforce, and know that the value of connections and resources can be diminished by excessive costs of business. Elk Run answers that concern: Minnesota has one of the most stable and educated workforces in the country and remains a business-friendly, affordable place to relocate.
