Prepare to take a trip to a city where life and science
merge. Augusta, Georgia, located on the banks of the historic Savannah
River, is the hub of commerce for a two-state region where Georgia
and South Carolina share their border.
Science, business, arts, education, opportunity and southern
charm all come together in an unparalleled way. But, life and
science have historically been partners. Georgia’s second
largest city lives quietly with the knowledge that life-changing
developments are being recorded in its institutions every year. |
