Biotechnology Hubs in North America

I was talking to a friend the other day about biotechnology job opportunities in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and realized that, although she knew of several big name companies in her own back yard, she was unaware of the extent of biotech business that goes on there, compared to other parts of North America.

Although the order of the top biotech hubs in NA might vary slightly depending if they are ranked based on revenue, employment opportunities, number of companies, or other criteria, in general, Toronto and Montreal, Canada, are two of the top centers. In the United States, major hubs of biotech activity are found in California, North Carolina and Massachusetts.
