BiOptix continues support of Colorado-based research institutions

BOULDER, Colo., June 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- BiOptix, a Colorado-based firm, announces completion of a successful week of research shows in Colorado's Biotech Corridor.

BiOptix today announced support of events this week at National Jewish Health, the University of Colorado Denver-Anschutz Medical Campus and at the University of Colorado, Boulder.  These events brought Colorado-based researchers together with representatives of dozens of global life science research suppliers, and are a critical link in the research supply and innovation chain.  The strength and participation at these events highlight the significant research activities that exist in Colorado, and BiOptix, as a Boulder, Colorado-based company is proud to support the continued development and expansion of these efforts. 

Supporting Colorado's Growing Biotech Corridor—and our hometown of Boulder.     

Colorado's growing biotech corridor is concentrated in the Denver-Boulder metropolitan areas allowing BiOptix strategic access to these markets.  "After completing a successful show at the University of California San Francisco, last week, we are excited to turn our attention toward our home market of Colorado for this series of events," noted Ken Wilczek, Vice President of Sales & Marketing for BiOptix.  "We are grateful to have the support of our colleagues in Denver and especially in our hometown of Boulder.
