Overview<br />
The Raleigh-Durham life sciences cluster is familiarly called<br />
the Research Triangle Region due to the geographic nexus<br />
of the area’s three leading research institutions — Duke<br />
University, North Carolina State University and the University<br />
of North Carolina Chapel Hill. Squarely in the center of the<br />
region is Research Triangle Park (RTP), a 7,000-acre center<br />
of research created by the state to help coalesce R&D talent<br />
to the region. The broader area includes 13 counties anchored<br />
by the cities of Raleigh, Cary, Durham and Chapel Hill.<br />
