The number of bioscience jobs in Indiana has grown since 2001, increasing by 17.2 percent and outpacing the national average of 15.8 percent. As the life sciences economic sector becomes more and more prominent, it is crucial that education keeps up with the rapid speed of change within the industry.

Bolstering our science and math education at the K-12 level is critically important, and BioCrossroads and several other organizations, including Purdue University, University of Notre Dame, Eli Lilly and Company, and the Indiana Department of Education, have several initiatives underway to reform science education, to encourage professional development for teachers and to increase Advanced Placement classes around the state.

However, it's also important for the sector itself to keep up with the leading edge of science, business transactions, policy, and debate that's happening within our state, outside our borders, and within the entire biotech industry.

Keeping Indiana's life sciences community at the head of the pack, BioCrossroads has developed the Frameworx conference series. These brief sessions cover very specific, educational, and timely topics relevant to different parts of our life sciences sector.

We are bringing together Indiana's life sciences thought leaders to get their views and perspectives on hot topics, but it is also an opportunity for a conversation about these subjects and further explore their impact on Indiana and the future of the industry.

Dr. Jan Lundberg, Executive Vice President for Science and Technology, Eli Lilly and Company, and Lilly Research Laboratories President, is headlining the first Frameworx session: Indiana's Life Sciences Engine: Full Steam Ahead?

Understanding this ever-changing landscape is vital to maintaining our strength and advancing our life-changing innovations. We're spreading the word and sharing knowledge and experience is one of the best ways to stay at the forefront.

Lori LeRoy serves as Public Relations and Marketing Director for BioCrossroads and leads their public/media relations activities as well as their internal and external communications strategies.
