Key findings of the report include:

• Many metro areas, including Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles, and St. Louis, have a broad employment base in three or even four of the bioscience subsectors
• Other metro areas are highly specialized in one or two particular subsectors such as Minneapolis (medical devices), Washington, D.C. (research, testing, and medical labs), and Pittsburgh (research, testing, and medical labs and medical devices)
