Pennsylvania’s Bioscience Industry
Pennsylvania is a global leader in the biosciences. Companies that call the Commonwealth home are among the most dynamic in the world, making it possible for millions of people to lead better, healthier, longer lives. Pennsylvania companies are discovering and developing:
• New therapies for debilitating and once untreatable conditions;
• Diagnostic tests that allow physicians to diagnose and treat diseases much earlier;
• Technologies that enable earlier targeting of potential cures during the drug discoveryprocess, helping move therapies to the market faster;
• Medical devices that are helping people move better, see better, hear better;
• Improved vaccines to prevent diseases.
This report begins to paint the picture of the industry: the size, the diversity, the impact it is having on Pennsylvania. There is no doubt that the biosciences are important to theCommonwealth. The bioscience industry is a cornerstone for Pennsylvania’s future economy,providing high quality jobs. Our location in the heart of the bio-pharmaceutical corridor with easy direct access to European markets makes us a logical selection for companies’ continuedgrowth and expansion.

The Pennsylvania Life Sciences Commitment: A Word from the Governor
Pennsylvania is helping to lead the life sciences revolution. From breakthrough drugs, to newmedical devices, to tools and techniques that are changing the world — Pennsylvania is at the forefront and continues to build momentum. Whether your company is in the conceptual,formation, growth or maturity stage, it will find a proven network of state and industry support and collaboration that will help take it to the next level.
In 2002 alone, more than 2,000 life sciences-related companies with nearly 84,000 professionalscalled Pennsylvania home. In the same year, those life sciences employees earned an averageannual wage of more than $65,000. Pharmaceutical and medicine manufacturing accounts fornearly one-third of Pennsylvania’s life sciences employment base and, in 2002, those workers eachearned an average wage of more than $80,000. Together life sciences and medical professionalsaccount for almost 16 percent of Pennsylvania’s employment base — one of the highestconcentrations in the nation and a clear sign of a highly-skilled work force.
Pennsylvania has taken measures to build on its existing world-class life sciences base. In 2003, the Commonwealth, through the Governor’s Action Team, offered life sciences companies morethan $19 million in state assistance in the form of loans, grants and tax credits. As projects arecompleted, the state’s initial investment is expected to leverage more than $770 million in privatesector funds, creating nearly 2,300 new jobs and retaining more than 6,600.
Our commitment to the industry goes even further. The Commonwealth is continuing a $2 billion multi-year Life Sciences Enterprise commitment and adding a portion of our recently enacted $2 billion economic stimulus package to bolster the capital available for our businesses. Economicstimulus programs such as Expanded R&D Tax Credit with Tradeability, New Pennsylvania VentureGuarantee, New PA Venture Capital Investment, Keystone Innovation Zones and Core Industriesprovide more than $450 million every year that will specifically benefit the entrepreneurial lifesciences community.
The Economic Stimulus Package, together with our $2 billion plus Life Sciences Enterpriseprogram, focuses on meeting the needs of developing life sciences companies for capital, for abusiness environment that encourages long-term risk, for an appropriately educated and skilledwork force, and for an infrastructure that stimulates innovation in biotechnology across theCommonwealth.

Basic research - Pennsylvania is home to institutions that are conducting ground-breaking,innovative research. Research institutions in PA garnered $1.3 billion in NIH funding in 2003, a $100 million increase from 2002. Two universities, University of Pennsylvania and University of Pittsburgh, consistently rank in the top 10 in the nation.
Emerging industry - Pennsylvania’s young emerging companies are commanding attention for their break-through therapies and strong business models. Venture Capital (VC) investment isgrowing, underscoring the value these companies will provide to the future of healthcare. In the first quarter of 2004 alone, Pennsylvania bioscience companies have closed on more than $150 millionin VC funding.
Mature industry - Pennsylvania boasts companies that are developing, manufacturing anddistributing drugs, vaccines, medical devices, and diagnostics that are providing better treatmentsand testing to patients around the world, improving the lives of millions of people.
Global pharmaceuticals - Underpinning the industry in Pennsylvania is a legacy ofinnovation that was started by and continues with a strong presence of global pharmaceuticalcompanies that are now leading the world in delivering biotech therapies to the market.
The biosciences industry plays a critical role in Pennsylvania. Not only are the biotechnology,pharmaceutical, medical device and diagnostics companies that comprise this sector developingthe therapies, vaccines and devices that will extend and improve the lives of patients globally, ithas emerged as one of the key economic drivers for the Commonwealth. This study, commissionedby Pennsylvania Bio, demonstrates Pennsylvania’s leadership along this continuum. It shows thegrowth that is occurring: company growth, job growth, wage growth. It also highlights the needto continue to support the industry’s growth for both the economic health of the Commonwealthand the health of its citizens.
A directory of companies accompanies this report, and gives life to the numbers — corporate faces to the statistics of growth, health and hope. While the directory does not include all of the companies from which the data were drawn, it is a compendium of representativecompanies, research institutions and supporting organizations that clearly demonstrate theastounding strength and depth of the biosciences in Pennsylvania.

REPORT:The Biosciences in PennsylvaniaPennsylvania. World-class research. World-class industry. World-class results. No matter where you focus on the continuum of the biosciences, Pennsylvania leads.
In 1998, Pennsylvania Bio, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the Ben Franklin TechnologyPartners of Southeastern PA, published a report on Pennsylvania’s bioscience industry. While directcomparisons can be difficult due to shifting mechanisms for collecting data, the resultsnonetheless show remarkable growth in the industry.1
This new report shows that, today, the industry in Pennsylvania is bigger and stronger than ever:
• 83,860 jobs;
• $5.5 billion in total wages;
• An average employee salary of $65,060;
• 2,038 establishments.
This study uses 2002 data, the most recent year for which complete data are available.
As a share of Pennsylvania’s total private employment, the biosciences have increased from 2001 to 2002:
There is no doubt that in a difficult economic climate marked by job losses, the biosciences offer a clear sector of growth. And this growth is impressive. While tracking young companies inthe biosciences sector can be difficult, the growth in the number of establishments indicates thatPennsylvania is an ideal location for company growth and expansion. The wage growth is a clearindicator of the high-quality jobs that are created by this industry. And the job growthunderscores the availability of a well trained, bioscience-oriented work force.

R E P O R T 9
What can account for this? Pennsylvania has many strengths that support the biosciences sector:
• World-class academic/research institutions that garner substantial NIH funding — $1.3 billion in 2003;
• A location in the heart of the bio-pharma corridor — 80% of the world’s largestpharmaceutical companies are within a 50-mile radius of Philadelphia — providing access to a deep scientific talent pool, exceptional managers, and partners for our region’sbiotechnology companies;
• Close proximity to the world’s financial center in New York City;
• Close proximity to the U.S. regulatory center in Washington DC;
• Easiest springboard in the U.S. to the European markets;
• High quality of life for families and a competitive cost of doing business, with stable real estate rates to help companies plan for growth;
• A strong heritage of innovation;
• Strong allied skills — ancillary industries and a robust service provider network that support the growth of the industry.
In addition, Pennsylvania is fortunate to have a supportive state government, with visionaryleaders in both the administration and in the legislature. Pennsylvania has instituted innovativeprograms for the biosciences that include:
• The Life Sciences Greenhouse Initiative, which provides a flexible mechanism for seed fundingand the commercialization of biotechnology and other Life Sciences business opportunities byaccelerating technology transfer, enhancing collaboration and attracting new business;
• Keystone Innovation Zones, geographically designated zones of opportunity and innovation designed to harness resources made available through partnerships formed by a combination of institutions of higher education, private businesses, business supportorganizations, commercial lending institutions, venture capital networks including angelinvestors, and foundations;
• The Commonwealth Universal Research Enhancement (CURE) program, through whichresearch grants are awarded to Pennsylvania health care institutions, colleges, universities and non-profit health organizations;
• Expanded R&D tax credits, with a tradability provision.
Strengths Across the Commonwealth
Many states boast of a single cluster of bioscience activity. Pennsylvania, however, has strengths across the Commonwealth.
The largest concentration of bioscience activity is in the metropolitan Philadelphia region. The five-county region that makes up greater Philadelphia — Bucks, Chester, Delaware,Montgomery and Philadelphia — accounts for nearly 50% of the total bioscience-relatedemployment in Pennsylvania.

The top three counties in Pennsylvania, in terms of totalestablishments are Allegheny, Montgomery and Bucks counties.
R E P O R T 11
Allegheny County, in which Pittsburgh resides, has the third largest total bioscience-relatedemployment in the Commonwealth, and it has a clear strength in the medical device anddiagnostics sector with the greatest total number of employees and establishments in this sector.
Central Pennsylvania has an emerging industry, anchored by Pennsylvania State University and Penn State College of Medicine. Berks, Dauphin and Lancaster counties all have significantactivity, and Lancaster County shows nearly 50% growth in the number of establishmentsbetween 2001 and 2002.

As a whole, Pennsylvania’s share of the biosciences out-paces the nation. Location Quotients (LQ)measure relative concentrations, such as employment or total wages. Location quotients are the most commonly used tool to measure the relative size and role of a specific economic base.Mathematically, they compare a regional proportion with a national proportion — an LQ of 1indicates exactly the same proportion for the region as for the nation. An LQ below 1 indicatesunder-representation within a region, while an LQ greater than 1 indicates a higherconcentration regionally than for the nation.
In 2002, Pennsylvania outpaced the nation in its proportion of bioscience employment and total wages — LQs of 1.31 and 1.38 respectively.

THE BIO-PHARMACEUTICAL SECTOR: THE CORE INDUSTRY
The bioscience core, as defined in this study, is drawn from Industry NAIC 32541: Pharmaceuticaland medicine manufacturing. This includes pharmaceutical and biotechnology manufacturers,manufacturers of substances for in-vitro diagnostic testing (such as blood tests), manufacturers of vaccines and other biological products, and raw material manufacturers and processors.
The Bio-Pharmaceutical Industry’s Impact in Pennsylvania
In total for 2002, the bio-pharmaceutical sector in Pennsylvania encompassed 124 establishments,27,121 employees, average annual wages of $80,885 and total annual wages of $2.2 billion.Across the board this sector shows growth. From 2001-2002, employment in the sector grewslightly more than 5% (compared with 4.5% nationally), the number of establishments grewnearly 1% and total sector wages grew more than 6%.
This core industry accounts for 32.3% of Pennsylvania’s bioscience jobs and 40.2% of annualwages. When weighing the importance within this industry group, two subsets overwhelminglyaccount for the majority of jobs and wages: Industry 325412: Pharmaceutical preparationmanufacturing (the pharmaceutical and biotechnology manufacturers in Pennsylvania) andIndustry 325414: Other biological product (except diagnostic) manufacturing (companiesmanufacturing vaccines and culture media).

While Pennsylvania was not a particularly large recipient of venture capital investment in the nation, averaging just 2.5% of the total from 2001 through 2003, the first quarter of 2004showed significant venture activity for Pennsylvania companies as a whole and for the biosciencesin particular.
The total venture investment in Pennsylvania for the first quarter of 2004 was $200 million,placing it fifth in the nation when ranked by total dollars invested. Nineteen deals were funded.This level of investment is a 65% growth, quarter-over-quarter, for total venture capitalinvestments in Pennsylvania.
Twelve of the deals were biosciences related, including the four largest. The biosciencescommunity in Pennsylvania saw 167% growth, quarter-over-quarter, for venture capitalinvestment in the first quarter. Of particular note are several large deals that underscore the value of the companies in Pennsylvania:

In the past, many venture-backed Pennsylvania companies had to seek out-of-state funding. That is changing, as a number of public and private efforts are underway to address risk-capitalshortfalls in Pennsylvania.
Research Funding through the National Institutes of Health
Pennsylvania is home to world-class universities and institutions, conducting ground-breakingresearch. With a rich history of medical firsts — the first hospital in the U.S.; development of the first polio vaccine; the first simultaneous heart, liver and kidney transplant; the first cancerhospital in the U.S.— Pennsylvania continues its legacy of innovation.
For fiscal year 2003, Pennsylvania ranked #4 nationally in funding from the National Institutes of Health, garnering $1.3 billion. Two Pennsylvania universities were in the top 10 — University of Pennsylvania (#3) and University of Pittsburgh (#8). These two universities anchor each side of the state, providing exceptional resources for their communities and the global industry:internationally recognized researchers, state-of-the-art laboratory space, strong technologytransfer programs, and much more.

It is difficult to define what constitutes abiosciences or life sciences cluster. Studies vary with regard to the sectors of the industrythat are included in any given definition. What Pennsylvania Bio has done is to focus on a way to define the industry that is substantive and replicable so that it allows for comparisons in future studies.
A number of considerations were taken intoaccount to arrive at a satisfactory definitionfor purposes of collecting and analyzing datain this report. By creating a definition basedon the 2002 North American IndustryClassification System (NAICS) — the statisticalclassification system that forms the basis for allestablishment-based federal economic industrystatistics, including employment and wagedata — Pennsylvania Bio has achieved its goalsand sets its study apart from many previousreports, and many still being published, thatuse the older Standard Industrial Classification(SIC) system. The NAICS was developed jointlyby the U.S., Canada and Mexico to providenew comparability in statistics about businessactivity in North America. The NAICSclassification system attempts to catalogueindustries into similar “bundles.” Severalconsiderations were taken into account indeveloping the NAICS. First establishmentsengaged in similar production processes areclassified together. Next the NAICS containnew categories that focus on emergingindustries, industries that produce advancedtechnology and the services sector — all of which were underrepresented under the SIC system.
Using the NAICS, Pennsylvania Bio aimed to have a definition broad enough to includewhat are considered “core” sectors, as well asindustries that are part of a larger communityof biosciences as well as those that are directly
related to the core sectors. This is importantbecause Pennsylvania has strengths that span many sectors, including biotech and pharmaceuticals, medical device anddiagnostics, and laboratory services, among others. Part of the affiliation between coreand related sectors is based on supply-chainrelationships and part is based on similar labor requirements or other commonalities.
Pennsylvania Bio focused on the biosciencesfor this study as opposed to the life sciences.Often a life sciences sector can include in itsdefinition patient health care services. One of the largest disagreements with respect to establishing a definition has to do withIndustry 621 “Ambulatory Health CareServices,” Industry 622 “Hospitals,” andIndustry 623 “Nursing and Residential CareFacilities.” These industry groups are engagedin the provision of human health care services,they are not producing or supportingtechnology-based human bioscience products,processes or related activities. Each health care service sector is relatively large, in termsof total employment and total wages. Inaddition, each has a very different mix ofoccupations than the core and related sectors.
The relationship that exists between industrieswhich deliver human health services and those involved in the core and non-corebioscience sectors is undeniably strong —especially in Pennsylvania, which hassignificant institutional medical resourcesdevoted to research. Yet the two groups are also substantially different, and should be considered independent. It is for these reasons that Pennsylvania Bio focuses on the biosciences industry sector.
