$50 Million Gift to UW Madison to Further Biotech Research

The couple’s donation will fund the first phase of the Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery. The governor says the launch of this project is a big step forward in maintaining the state’s status as a leader in biotechnology. Gov. Jim Doyle says he called for facilities like this one, when he announced a $750 million initiative two years ago to further biotechnology and stem cell research in Wisconsin.
