Ground broken on Institutes for Discovery

State officials and major donors break ground on the new Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery.

The facility on the UW-Madison campus will focus on the fields of biotechnology, health sciences, and stem cell research. Governor Jim Doyle says it will help make Wisconsin a leader in those areas, which he expects to become vital to the US economy in the coming years. Doyle wants to capture 10-percent of those markets by the year 2015.
