Minnesota leads the world’s medical device industry. The state’s biomedical and related industries employ 250,000 Minnesotans.

A secure investment in research facilities through the Minnesota Biomedical Research Program is one way the state of Minnesota can ensure the University will be able to attract and retain leading research talent.

The University’s Academic Health Center has run out of research space and each new research building will allow the University to house 40 new faculty researchers, 120 research assistants and bring in $20 million in new research dollars yearly.
