OP confirmed elsewhere that it's likely Georgia (Tech), which - if it is - has a robust biotechnology department.

Might it be related to "Judea"?
I'm barely a hobbyist, but I have fallen in love with the etymology of religious words, place names, and iconography. It would be wild to find connections between Hadad or Baal and an equivalent Sumerian/Akkadian diety.
False etymologies and debunkings notwithstanding, it's an area that really excites me.
