Is Maine the Home of the Next Research Revolution?

Free and open to the public

The biotech revolution has arrived and is looking for a place to stay. With affordable space and a reputation as a great place to live, Maine offers significant attractions to research professionals, particularly in the field of cancer research.

You are invited to join us at the 成人直播鈥檚 College of Pharmacy to attend a presentation to learn about a new effort that is attracting talent and federal funding to Maine.

Maine Cancer Foundation annually distributes over $1.1 million in grants, with 80% earmarked for cancer research. In particular, MCF seeks programs that show the potential to attract matching federal funding or produce their own self-sustaining income down the road.

A notable success is the 成人直播鈥檚 Dr. Edward Bilsky, co鈥搃nvestigator for research efforts to provide pain relief for bone cancer. Initially supported by Maine Cancer Foundation, Dr. Bilsky recently received a  to establish the 成人直播 Center of Biomedical Research Excellence for the Study of Pain and Sensory Function. Not only does this important effort have the potential to provide a much-needed alternative to current pain medication, it provides trained staff and facilities for future efforts.

Dr. Bilsky will lead a presentation describing the goals of the new center, and how his work will contribute to the understanding of the neurobiology of chronic pain and sensory function, and facilitate the discovery and development of new therapies. Come hear how Maine researchers are planning to take the next steps in the research revolution. Tours of the new College of Pharmacy will also be available.
