In today's world, it can be hard for companies to stand out and promote their brand. For laboratory suppliers, breaking into a new academic marketplace can be a challenge due to campus security and labs being unwelcome to solicitors. Attending an on-campus trade show event provides lab suppliers with the opportunity to display supplies on-campus, to interested and well-funded researchers from campus research laboratories.
Biotechnology Calendar, Inc. hosts prominent life science events at three of the top research institutions in Illinois. These BioResearch Product Faire™ Events bring together active, highly-funded scientists with companies able to supply these researchers with the best and newest tools available to further their research.
Coming up in October, 2015 are 3 premiere BioResearch Product Faire™ Events in Illinois, providing ample opportunity for laboratory suppliers to market lab supplies to hundreds of active researchers.
University of Chicago - October 6, 2015
The 1st Annual BioResearch Product Faire™ Event will take place at the University of Chicago on Tuesday, October 6, 2015. provides laboratory suppliers with the prime opportunity to meet face-to-face with 100 well funded life science researchers, in one place in just a matter of hours.
University of Chicago Funding:
- The University of Chicago received $450 million in sponsored research funding in fiscal year 2013.
- Ludwig Cancer Research gifted $90 million to the University of Chicago for research on cancer metastasis.
- Andrzej Joachimiak, senior fellow of the Institute for Genomics and Systems Biology and the Computation Institute, received $6.6 million for The Midwest Center for Structural Genomics, which will go into initiatives that will examine proteins potentially responsible for the virulence of three of the world’s most dangerous bacteria: staphylococcus, tuberculosis and salmonella.
