Fueling innovation through partnership

We visited several locations and felt that being close to Purdue University would provide a number of important benefits, including a pipeline of talent from Purdue and easy travel around the Midwest. An important added benefit is that the people in the Midwest have grown up around agriculture, and they understand it and connect well as a team.

Cook has licensed several Purdue innovations that have helped untold people around the globe. The partnership between Cook Biotech and Purdue is a wonderful example of how two entities can work together for a common good, and we received great results. It is an interesting story with a positive outcome.

The Purdue Research Park has been a great strategic location for Pluto. Proximity to Purdue’s facilities and faculty supports meaningful collaboration and access to top-tier talent.
