It's time for a monthly update on the new and headline grabbing developments in the life sciences industry in Massachusetts.

Angus McQuilken, vice president of the Life Sciences Center, joined NECN to discuss some new company arrivals in the state.

Andrew Alliance is one of the many new companies that have moved to Boston. The company hails from Switzerland. They specialize in making robotic systems that are used in lab research.

McQuilken said one of the reasons new companies decide to come to Boston is because it's an active investment community.
