Highlights from BadgerConnect 2024
Twenty-four research services with seven industry partners were joined by sixty-six researchers for the seventh annual BadgerConnect Research Services Fair. Hosted by the UW Carbone Cancer Center and UW Biotechnology Center, the free half-day event featured a talk by Dr. Jeremy Kratz titled “Next Generation Cancer Organoids with Patient Derived Tissues,” followed by a panel discussion from five research services on drug discovery and development at UW. The event began with five workshops presented by industry partners and their associated research services and culminated with a networking reception. In addition, multiple pre-recorded core flashtalks and tutorials were posted before the event.
Hosted by UW Carbone, the UW School of Medicine and Public Health, and the UW Biotechnology Center.
