UGA hosts abundant growth and bright marketing opportunities:
- UGA's new $89 million Veterinary Medical Learning Center is scheduled to open in March, 2015. The facility will include a new hospital, laboratories and classroom space. New research labs will need new laboratory supplies and equipment and this will coincide with our University of Georgia, Athens BioResearch Product Faire™ Event. You really won't want to miss this golden opportunity to show off your products to the people in charge of furnishing these new labs and classrooms.
- University of Georgia cancer researchers still have 2 years of funding remaining from two five-year grants totaling $4.1 million. With the funding they have been exploring new methods of detecting ovarian and pancreatic cancers, using the most advanced technologies available. The National Institutes of Health awarded the University of Georgia, Athens 126 awards totaling $45.5 million in science research funding.
- A partnership between Emory University and the University of Georgia that plays a key role in the nation's influenza research and surveillance programs has received a $3.6 million contract, with potential funding up to a total of $26.7 million available over seven years, from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
