Upcoming Wisconsin Life Sciences and Venture Conference Showcases State's Medical Start-ups

The 20th annual Wisconsin Life Sciences and Venture Conference will take place this Tuesday and Wednesday at Monona Terrace in Madison, according to wisbusiness.com.  The conference is an opportunity for companies to attempt to attract investors and present research projects to outsiders that may become cures for diseases in the future.  This year all 21 companies that are making presentations are connected to drug therapy in some way.  In the first ten years 8 percent of participating companies attracted investors; that figure rose to 21 percent in the last decade.
