"We've been able to launch 100 new companies that created about 1,000 new jobs in St. Louis, attracting nearly $3 billion in capital. We've launched new facilities, [and] we've really helped jumpstart an innovation economy here in St. Louis. It's helped us develop the muscle memory to be able to launch the NEURO360 engine." - BioSTL Vice President of Innovation Ecosystem-Building Justin Raymundo Thanks to St. Louis Magazine and Drew Gieseke for taking a closer look at NEURO360's goal of making St. Louis a neuroscience juggernaut. https://lnkd.in/gmHC4NqH
