Dallas-Fort Worth is well known for its tech expertise. Now it being recognized as the place where technology meets life science—a convergence that’s driving rapid growth in the biotech ecosystem....
Now in its fourth year, the program from Dallas Innovates and D CEO honors 68 disruptors and trailblazers driving a new vision for innovation in North Texas.
Finalists will be recognized in the January/February issue of D CEO magazine and online at DallasInnovates.com. Winners will be revealed at an exclusive awards event in January.
The Biotech+ Hub at Pegasus Park in Dallas has been attracting more and more life science startups and university teams. Now a whole herd of Mustangs are about to stampede there. The SMU Institute for Computational Biosciences at Pegasus Park will have space at the 23-acre development. SMU researchers from a variety of disciplines will be focusing on bio-scientific discoveries, leveraging advanced computational algorithms and technologies.
"We're excited to give SMU faculty this new opportunity to pursue world-changing research for good and to do so in close proximity to a broad range of academic, medical, corporate, and non-profit collaborators," says SMU Provost Elizabeth Loboa.

The North Texas biotech boom just keeps booming—and a new "DFW Life Science Snapshot" from JLL shows why. From the Biotech+ Hub at Pegasus Park to a string of accelerators to local universities, DFW Airport, and more, here's a deep dive into what's behind the boom.
"We are showing up in the rankings and in the data," says Mike Rosa of the Dallas Regional Chamber. "It results in more opportunities and more looks for us."
"It takes time" to establish a track record, Jorge Varela says, and the region is starting to see a series of biotech successes and spinoffs that will elevate the region's profile as a biotech hub.
According to a panel of experts at Urban Land Institute's 2022 spring meeting, here are factors drawing biotech to DFW.
The accelerator will move this summer from its downtown Dallas location to 6,000 square feet of collaborative and flexible office space in Pegasus Park's 18-story tower.
Just weeks ago, Pegasus Park landed one of its biggest tenants to date: UT Southwestern‘s Office for Technology Development and other UTSW entities will be leasing six floors in the tower.
Hera Biotech—a San Antonio-based startup that's developing the first non-surgical, definitive, tissue-based test capable of both diagnosing and staging endometriosis—took home first prize in this year's Health Innovation Pitch Competition. The other winners were Steadiwear (Canada), Vigilant Software (Dallas), and Reopia Optics (California).
All winners can be considered Dallas Innovators: Each will receive space at Health Wildcatters.
"Traditionally, customer lifetime value hasn’t existed in healthcare," says Sunny Nadolsky. She's out to change that with her startup's user-friendly platform that streamlines communication between patients and healthcare providers.
"The downside of a pandemic is that it's frightening. The good thing is, sometimes it speeds up things that probably needed to happen. Like telemedicine," Nicole Small, CEO of LH Capital/Lyda Hill Philanthropies, said during the event.
Health Wildcatters CEO Hubert Zajicek, Perot Jain Principal Cindy Revol, Lyda Hill Philanthropies CEO Nicole Small, and others will be on a panel about how the health care and tech industries have been innovative during COVID-19 as part of the new Children’s Health program launch on Oct. 8.
Hubert Zajicek wants to tap the strong innovation community in North Texas to share know-how, combat shortages, and come up with new solutions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
