Ohio Life Sciences

Looks back at 2023, we talk about legislation that passed that will help with bio screening of babies for preventable but deadly if not found diseases.

Legislation that they did not get passed they and 86 other entities wanted that would help with insurance, CoPay Accumulation legislation.

Then we talk about companies in the Columbus region that are growing which means more jobs. How the Columbus region is becoming a hub for gene cell therapy companies and Ohio in the Cincinnati area is becoming a hub for medical device manufacturers.

2 other stories-How Ohio Life Sciences as an advocate for BioTech companies is trying to get the state to offer a small business loan or SBIR to biotech start ups that will be a match to funding they raise. Ohio’s surrounding states offer this and OLS wants Ohio to be competitive in order to attract more biotech companies.
