Gov. Jim Doyle announced plans Wednesday to lead 150 prominent Wisconsin biotechnology leaders to BIO 2006, a Chicago conference, according to a press statement from his office.
BIO 2006 is the largest biotechnology conference in the world and will be held April 9 through April 12, 2006.
Doyle will accompany Dr. James Thomson and Dr. Gabriela Cezar, two of Wisconsin's leading researchers in the stem cell industry.
'Wisconsin's research institutions and pioneering scientists like Jamie Thomson and Gabriela Cezar are known worldwide,' Doyle said in a statement. 'Wisconsin breakthroughs in medical science in our state will transform our economy and open doors to new industries we've only dreamed of. I am pleased to help bring Wisconsin's life science success story to executives and investors from across the world at BIO 2006.'
