[Source: The Arizona Republic] – Arizona’s push to grow the bioscience industry has paid off over the past two years with rapid job growth and new companies despite the difficult economy, a new report says.

“We are making what I think is significant progress,” said Marty Schultz, chairman of the Arizona Bioscience Roadmap steering committee.
