THIS!

“No question about it…this was a homerun,” said Michael Dixon, CEO and President at UNeMed, the event’s primary host.

The inaugural MidWest Drug Development Conference pulled together a dozen Midwestern universities, which represented more than $4.6 billion in research expenditures and 1,787 new inventions in 2016, according to the most recent data available. Those 12 universities presented 41 new, drug-related technologies in short, 10-minutes packages. The audience was a collection of pharmaceutical executives, venture capital groups and other potential partners who could help further develop those new technologies.

Inaugural event a success, will return in 2019

OMAHA, Nebraska (December 11, 2018)—The final results are in, and the inaugural MidWest Drug Development Conference was an unqualified success, UNeMed announced today.

“No question about it,” said Michael Dixon, CEO and President at UNeMed, the event’s primary host. “Taking a swing at something major like this is more than a little nerve-wracking. Will anyone show up? Are we wasting our time? But this was a home run, no doubt—and not just for us.”
