Representative from local industry and academic institutions attended this three hour meeting that was supported by the following presentations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Novel tools to study neurochemical processes presented by Hina Andleeb from the Cunningham group (Concordia University).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Program in Chemical Biology at the Medical College of Wisconsin presented by Brian Smith.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Information about BioForward Wisconsin presented by Michael Harrison.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CU Ventures supporting tech founders in WI presented by Dan Sem.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>GPCR Target Engagement Platforms presented by John McCorvy (MCW).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Neuroendocrinology of Memory Lab presented by Karyn Frick (51ÁÔÆæ).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00a0MCW Core Facilities were presented by Kristin Ciezki.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00a0The MCW Therapeutic Accelerator Program (TAP) presented by Kristin Cierzki.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Simmaron Research and Simmpyra Pharmaceutics presented by Avik Roy (51ÁÔÆæ).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00a0Computational Biophysics and Biomolecular Dynamics Lab presented by Tyler Trask from the Marinelli Lab (MCW).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next-gen human relevant Organoid &amp; Organ- on-chip models for drug discovery: Embracing FDA Modernization Act presented by Subhajit Giri (MCW.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The Meeting was well attended with more than 80 local scientist. Many stayed after the meeting to discuss partnerships between institutions and industry. The consensus of the meeting was that Southeastern Wisconsin has a significant number of program that are related to the development of new therapeutics. The challenge for the future is to develop a structure to connect these program and to develop a robust pipeline for the development of new inventions for the medical sector.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-col uwm-l-col--4 uwm-l-offset--1\"><div class=\"content_block\" id=\"custom_post_widget-1707\"><nav aria-label=\"Sidebar\" class=\"uwm-p-navigation-list uwm-p-navigation-list--gold-border \"><div class=\"uwm-p-navigation-list--title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/drug-discovery\/events\/\">Events<\/a><\/div><ul><li><a class=\"current\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/drug-discovery\/events\/southeastern-wisconsin-consortium-of-drug-discovery-and-development\/\"><span aria-current=\"page\">Southeastern Wisconsin Consortium of Drug Discovery and Development<\/span><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/drug-discovery\/events\/midd-macc-2024\/\">MIDD MACC 2024<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/drug-discovery\/events\/midd-symposium-2023\/\">MIDD Symposium 2023<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/drug-discovery\/events\/macc-conference-2023\/\">MACC conference 2023<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/drug-discovery\/events\/graduate-students-working-with-industry-professionals-gswip\/\">Graduate Students working with  Industry Professionals (GSWIP)<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":396,"featured_media":0,"parent":792,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":"","uwm_wg_additional_authors":[]},"class_list":["post-1468","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
