Overland Park
 

Bioscience

The combination of collaborative educational resources, world-renowned research entities, and Overland Park's existing corporate persona have created a rapidly growing industry sector.  Companies like Quintiles Transnational Corporation have recently chosen Overland Park, speaking to the strengthening of our bioscience industry.

Overland Park's bioscience industry benefits from outstanding public school districts,
Johnson County Community College's Biotechnician program, the University of Kansas-Edwards Campus and their new Research Triangle Initiative as well as close proximity to other regional universities like Kansas State University, University of Missouri-Kansas City and the Kansas City University of Medicine & Biosciences. 

Research collaborations and opportunities are another major benefit to local bioscience companies. The nearby Stowers Institute for Medical Research, the Kansas City Area Life Sciences Institute and the Kansas Bioscience Authority are all bringing national recognition to our area's research capacity and capabilities.
