Gov. Jim Doyle rolls out an economic plan, called Grow Wisconsin: The 2005 Agenda, in a three city swing beginning in Madison.
He’ll start in Madison at the new laboratory facilities for Cellular Dynamics International, a privately held biotechnology firm that has taken a lead in embryonic stem cell research. Doyle will announce a “significant new investment in the company,” according to an advance statement from the governor’s office. Cellular Dynamics was co-founded by James Thomson, an internationally recognized pioneer in stem cell research and a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
