Only 20 minutes from Fulton, the University of Missouri is blessed with a broad range of specialized facilities in the plant and animal sciences, human health, engineering and other fields. The University’s world-class research is supported by a new $60 million Life Sciences Center featuring 50 interdisciplinary laboratories that will attract more investigators and emerging businesses to mid-Missouri. The Center’s researchers generate fundamental knowledge and tackle complex problems facing plant, animal and human health. This means the people and programs are in place to help companies solve technical problems and build the R&D or technology commercialization collaboration they need to be successful.
