Life science innovation that results in successful commercialization of new drugs, therapies, vaccines and technologies that have a value based impact on patient care is not for the faint of heart.
Boston, San Diego, the Bay Area and other locales where medical technology innovation currently thrives is due in large part to their hefty pools of investors.
