Ep. 6: Introducing the BioHeartland
Today’s episode marks the launch of something bigger than a brand. It’s the beginning of a new regional identity — one designed to tell the story of how human, animal and plant biosciences converge right here in the heart of America.It’s called BioHeartland.Across Indiana and the greater central region, a powerful ecosystem is already taking shape — where breakthrough therapies are invented, advanced technologies are manufactured at scale and products move efficiently across the globe. From life sciences and agbiosciences to advanced manufacturing, logistics and research, this region is uniquely positioned to lead the future of bioscience innovation.In this episode, we’ll unpack how the BioHeartland initiative came together, why this moment matters and what it means for companies, communities, entrepreneurs and talent across the region.Joining us for the conversation are Melina Kennedy (CEOs of Indiana Corporate Partnership), who will serve as moderator, along with Vince Wong (President and CEO of BioCrossroads), Christy Wright (President and CEO of AgriNovus Indiana) and Scott Fadness (Mayor of Fishers, Indiana).Together, they’ll discuss the research, collaboration and momentum behind the BioHeartland launch — and why telling a unified biosciences story has never been more important.This is BioSignals. And this is the beginning of BioHeartland.

2025 in Review with Mike Bolinder
We’re doing things a little differently with this episode. Instead of an external guest, we’re bringing in someone internal—Mike Bolinder SVP, External Engagement & Chief Innovation Officer. Last month, BioCrossroads released our 2025 annual report. And in this episode, Mike and Vince take a step back to reflect on 2025. Together they unpack a year’s worth of milestones across innovation, manufacturing, workforce, communications, and capital. 2025 was a watermark year for Indiana’s life sciences ecosystem—for the first time ever, life sciences in Indiana surpassed $100B in economic contribution, at $102B to be exact. We also became known as the radiopharmaceutical capital of the world. And we vastly expanded our workforce infrastructure and supports. This episode is the perfect companion piece to our annual report, and I recommend everyone take a look at it for a comprehensive look at all of the state’s activities in life sciences.
