The four MichBio members are:
- Draths Corporation (Lansing) is a leader in bio-based aromatic and aliphatic monomer development and commercialization.
- Innovative Analytics (Kalamazoo) supports clinical drug/device development programs with standard and innovative data management, statistical, and medical writing services.
- Intervention Insights (Grand Rapids) provides actionable strategies that assist community oncologists in developing personalized treatments for their patients.

Other biosciences companies honored included Integrated Biophotonic Solutions in East Lansing, a leading provider of pulse shapers for ultrafast lasers, who also received the overall Innovation Award, and Hygieia Inc., an emerging company in Ann Arbor with a disruptive technology intent on revolutionizing diabetes care. In addition, Uckele Health & Nutrition in Blissfield, a trusted leader in the formulation, development and manufacture of the highest quality nutritional supplements available for humans and animals, was honored with the Michigan Small Business Person of the Year Award. L’Anse Manufacturing Inc. in L’Anse (Upper Peninsula) was also recognized as a company to watch for its metal machining capabilities that transform concepts into initial prototypes, validation samples, or production parts for the medical device and orthopedic sectors.
“Our members and Michigan’s biosciences industry made yet another strong showing last night,” said Stephen Rapundalo, PhD, president and CEO of MichBio. “They really demonstrate the breadth of bio-research products and services available in our state, and the key economic driver the industry is for the re-invention of Michigan.”
