In 2004, BioKansas was founded by the Kansas City Area Life Sciences Institute and the State of Kansas, who recognized the need to unify Kansas’ bioscience industry, academic research institutions, and economic development organizations.

BioKansas is a unified voice representing the biosciences in Kansas. Across the human, plant, animal and industrial biosciences, BioKansas is focused on enhancing the business and research climate and working with leaders across the state to attract and retain bioscience talent, companies and funding.
