The Wistar Institute, an international leader in basic biomedical research, today announced a five-year, $35 million capital campaign, Building Wistar, Changing the World.The campaign, which to date has raised over $18.5 million in a ``quiet'' phase, will support Wistar's first major building expansion in 35 years, and ensure the Institute's future at the forefront of cancer research and vaccine development.
State of Wisconsin lawmakers passed a venture capital bill Tuesday that would invest $75 million in young Wisconsin companies, but even supporters of the bipartisan legislation said it isn't enough.
