Baltimore and its surrounding area is the nexus of biomedical research on the East Coast

Conveniently located along the Baltimore-Washington, D.C., corridor, the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB), campus is less than one hour from the National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, several major universities, and numerous biotechnology companies.
