Agenda



RESEARCH AND COMMERCIALIZATION IS THE KEY CONCERN IN THE LIFE SCIENCES

Key Asset Industry Focus *Industry Assessment


Research High value on innovative discoveries from universities in fueling biosciences industry development. Growing focus on translational research – key role for physician researchers and clinical connections.

●Several areas stand out – obesity & diabetes; infectious diseases; cardiovascular disease and hypertension; cancer research & treatments; neurosciences

Industry-University Collaboration

Need to ensure a well-functioned technology transfer and commercialization approach to advancing new start-ups to create a stronger life sciences ecosystem in the state.

◕Despite some bright spots, major concerns about technology transfer and commercialization across public universities.

Facilities Signature facilities can make a key difference in engagements with industry, especially with growing focus on open innovation and more applied R&D collaborations.

◐Many NIH funded centers which offer core facilities. But Louisiana unique in large animal facilities .

Talent Louisiana companies (like universities) recruit nationally for talent – very competitive market and Louisiana needs to address issues such as trailing spouses. Key for start-ups to draw upon faculty-related graduate students and post-docs in early product development.

◔Healthy gains and within second tier of states in generation of masters and doctorate level graduates …. But well off the levels of top states.





LIFE SCIENCES – CURRENT STATE IN LA

Suggested Focus Area Based on Industry Feedback • Promote Statewide Commercialization Mechanisms and Advance Enabling Technology (i.e. Healthcare Innovation,

Preclinical Testing, Drug Discovery) Resources in the Life Sciences to Help Drive Industry-University Collaboration

Rationale• The presence and focus of university research is a key driver of life sciences innovation.• In Louisiana, universities conduct $430 million in life sciences research, representing 65% of total university R&D

activity ($357M and 54% without Agricultural Sciences).• Significant R&D infrastructure including two national primate centers, multiple university healthcare innovation

efforts and a new clinical research consortium are fostering collaborative life science research between university and industry.

LA Talent Assets• Louisiana ranked 18th in generation of life sciences masters and doctorates in 2010, with 388 degrees awarded --

this degree total represents 1.8% of life sciences masters and doctorate degrees awarded nationally in 2010.• Louisiana had 20.5% growth in life sciences masters and doctorate degrees from 2007 to 2010 compared to 22.8%

growth in the nation.

Key Industry Base in LA• Healthcare• Pharmaceuticals

State Programs & Incentives• LA has established research & development tax credit for businesses with an operating facility in the state to start

or continue research and development activities in the state.

Key Issue(s)• Louisiana’s university research is not widely connected industry to foster the translation of the early-stage

innovations into commercialized products.



ADVANCING A MORE “REFINED” ASSESSMENT OF THE LIFE SCIENCES

The presence and focus of university research is a key driver of life sciences innovation and opportunities for emerging growth sectors.

But not all states and regions are built alike in the life sciences. It is important that states and regions identify the areas of focus and core competency among their research drivers as a key building block for advancing emerging growth opportunities in the life sciences.

40

• In Louisiana, universities conduct $430 MM in life sciences research, representing 65% of total university R&D activity – $357 MM or 54% without Agricultural Sciences.

In Louisiana, the breadth of this university research base shows extensive development across many areas:

• Obesity and Diabetes

• Infectious Diseases

• Cardiovascular Disease and Hypertension

• Cancer Research and Treatments

• Neurosciences



KEY WAY TO VIEW UNIVERSITY ASSETS IS THROUGH FOCUS OF TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH

Life sciences development has a unique translational research requirement that calls for especially close connections between biomedical research discoveries, product advancement and clinical care Not simply one of advancing a supplier and buyer relationship, instead there is a close and

needed interface of “bench and bedside” for biomedical innovation to move forward.

Within the life sciences business sector, there is a growing focus on strategic collaborations across the translational research paradigm. Result of the continuing need to rationalize R&D expenditures due to impending patent

expirations as well as the decline in productivity in the development and commercialization of new medical products.

Agenda



Examined:

– Total, Industrial and Academic R&D Levels, Mix and Trends

– University Technology Transfer Activity

Insights on Louisiana’s Landscape in Research and Innovation:

Academic R&D plays a greater role in Louisiana than across the nation…actually well exceeds Industry R&D.

Academic R&D in Louisiana stands at 78% the level of the U.S. per $1,000 of economic output —while Industry R&D is 19x bigger in the U.S. than Louisiana.

High percentage of Industry Financed R&D Expenditures in Academia for Science and Engineering (S&E) in 2010 (the latest year available is 2010)

Academic R&D has been competitive compared to its peer states…took a hit from Katrina, but bounced back until 2009–2010.

University technology transfer in Louisiana lagging in a number of key metrics, particularly patents and licensing.

INSIGHTS ON RESEARCH AND INNOVATION LEVELS AND TRENDS IN LOUISIANA



SETTING THE CONTEXT: LEVEL AND MIX OF TOTAL, INDUSTRIAL AND ACADEMIC R&D

In 2007 (the latest year with detailed industry R&D data available), the combined R&D levels in Industry and Academic R&D in Louisiana reached $1087 million.

– For every $1,000 in state economic output, Louisiana undertook $4.50 in total R&D

– This compares to $22.80 per $1,000 in economic output for the nation (i.e. Lower levels of R&D in Louisiana Per Output).

In Louisiana, academic R&D exceeds industry R&D: $598M academic vs. $373M industrial in 2007.

– This is unlike what is found across the U.S. where industry R&D is exceeds academic R&D by 5x: $265B industrial vs. $49B academic

Despite the low industrial R&D base in Louisiana, from 2000 to 2007, it nearly doubled in size from $126M to $373M.



LOUISIANA’S PERFORMANCE FOR INDUSTRY SUPPORTED ACADEMIC R&D COMPARED TO ASPIRATION AND BORDER STATES

For 2010, Louisiana’s share of industry financed R&D as percentage of total higher education expenses was in the upper-tier of aspiration (GA, NC, TX) and border states (AL, AR, MS, TX), placing only behind NC and TX

For 2010, Louisiana had a higher percentage share of industry financed R&D than the U.S. as a whole.
