Indiana’s Radiopharmaceutical Boom, New Airline HQ and Downtown Indy Growth

Описание: Inside Indiana Business with Gerry Dick highlights Indiana’s growing leadership in radiopharmaceuticals and precision medicine, focusing on Indianapolis-based Spectron Rx and its major expansion near Bunker Hill. The project nearly doubles the company’s footprint near Grissom Air Force Base, expands its Miami County campus from about 20 acres to 34 acres, and quadruples manufacturing space to meet rising demand for next-generation cancer drugs. Business of Health reporter Kylie Valletta explains how Indiana’s nuclear medicine cluster is gaining momentum, with 16 companies statewide and logistics playing a critical role for medicines that can expire in less than 24 hours.

The episode also covers aviation growth and workforce development, including the opening of Republic Airways’ new $200 million corporate headquarters in Carmel. Republic President Matt Koscal discusses the campus design, training operations with full motion simulators, and efforts to address the national pilot shortage through LIFT Academy at Indianapolis International Airport. Additional segments examine downtown Indianapolis campus construction tied to Indiana University and Purdue University, statewide business headlines, and a conversation with Jim Cornelison on singing “Back Home Again in Indiana” and its connection to the Indianapolis 500.
