Bioscience is
“Big Business” in Michigan
That was the conclusion
of a recent study released by industry advocate, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), which concluded that “Michigan has the assets to support and grow bioscience, particularly in the presence of its major research universities.” The study points out that university biosciences expenditures totaled $897 million in fiscal 2007 with industry payrolls reaching nearly $2.5 billion for the same period.
Michigan is home to more than 540 biosciences
enterprises from pharmaceutical and medical device companies to diagnostics, bio-agriculture and nutriceuticals. The state’s contract research industry alone has the depth to handle business from across the globe at any stage of development.
Michigan’s SmartZones™ fuel a robust pipeline
of Michigan biosciences companies. SmartZones™ are distinct geographical areas where technologybased businesses gain from collaborations between local universities, industry, research organizations, government agencies and other community resources. The business incubators (see Feature story p. 12) located within many SmartZones™ nurture entrepreneurism with wet lab services, SBIR and STTR assistance and access to business planning and funding sources. From the tip of the Upper Peninsula to the bustling Lower Peninsula, Michigan’s “Upper Hand” Advantage is its Complete Biosciences Package. Look no further. The study points out that

From mid-town Detroit to downtown Grand Rapids and up north to the great outdoors of Houghton in the Upper Peninsula, innovation is emerging from Michigan business incubators. Incubators bring together the knowledge and resources of local governments, nonprofits, industry and academia to propel Michigan’s economy into the 21st Century. They provide a wide range of scientific and business support services to help scientists and entrepreneurs translate their innovations and technologies into commercial products.
Services include financial planning, business consulting, laboratory and office space and access to capital. It’s a good approach because most of the promising innovations are created by scientists and entrepreneurs lacking two prime ingredients for success: business savvy and money. “Most inventors do not know how to formulate a business plan, business model, etc.,” says Ken Van Der Wende, president and CEO of the Center for Applied Research & Technology (CART), which is located within Central Michigan University’s Research Corporation in Mt. Pleasant. “Almost all startups have a hard time thinking through and writing a good business plan. Virtually all have a particular challenge with the pro forma financials. All have funding challenges.”
CART and Mid-Michigan PulL Their Weight Dendritic Nanotechnologies Inc. (DNT) in Mt. Pleasant, a company with origins dating back to The Dow Chemical Co., is a huge CART success story. CART helped DNT secure funding, develop its intellectual property and catch the eye of Starpharma Holdings Ltd., a Melbourne, Australia company developing nanotechnology products for the pharmaceutical industry that acquired DNT in 2006. Among other CART successes is Bauer BioMedical whose genetic diagnostics tech-
nologies make possible the precise detection of cancers and other disease conditions through the analysis of peripheral blood or body fluid specimens, all without the need for invasive biopsy or excision of the diseased tissues.
“Almost all startups have a hard time thinking through and writing a good business plan. Virtually all have a particular challenge with the pro forma financials. All have funding challenges.” CART partners with other economic development organizations throughout the region, including Saginaw Valley State University and the MidMichigan Innovation Center. Together these organizations are developing a regional business incubator network to improve their collective efficiency and effectiveness. Just to the east in Midland, the fouryear-old MidMichigan Innovation Center (MMIC) is making its presence felt too. Like the other incubators across the state MMIC

provides a wealth of critical resources, valuable services, flexible facilities, and entrepreneurial training and education to help support business ventures. Our “role is to not only help our tenants and virtual tenants by connecting them to resources they wouldn’t otherwise be aware of, but to inform and educate entrepreneurs in our region and neighboring communities,” says Brent Case, executive director. MMIC is a satellite of the Central Michigan University Research Corporation SmartZone™ in Mt. Pleasant and provides services to all industrial sectors without targeting specific technologies. MMIC “is an emerging economic engine for the region,” he adds.“It is home to 17 tenant companies, employing 130 people and generating more than $5 million in new payroll.” MMIC operates a 112,000-square-foot business incubator with significant support from The Dow Chemical Co., foundations and area universities. MMIC was instrumental in starting Blue Water Angels and connected Midland-based Gantec Advance LLC to multiple resources, including investment/funding, marketing and public relations, website development and office and lab space. Gantec manufactures and sells all natural products in the Blossom Springs Growing System, including a plant health supplement spray concentrate that eliminates the need for synthetic additives or sprays in potting soils.

West Michigan Roadmap Guiding Commercialization The West Michigan Science & Technology Initiative (WSMTI) in Grand Rapids works very closely with early stage inventors and entrepreneurs, generally for pre-A round funding to build a “commercialization” roadmap, says Linda Chamberlain, Ph.D., WMSTI executive director. It operates a high-tech incubator, chartered primarily for biosciences companies. Like other incubators, WMSTI’s relationship with a nearby university, in this case Grand Valley State, enables it to access and leverage all university resources for its entrepreneurs. Chamberlain says the university’s support “is critical for sustainability.” “The path to market is littered with more obstacles than imagined. The costs are always higher, things take longer than expected, and the regulatory restraints can be challenging,” Chamberlain says. “Success requires tenacity,
Like other incubators, WMSTI’s relationship with a nearby university, in this case Grand Valley State, enables it to access and leverage all university resources for its entrepreneurs.
and you need to be absolutely passionate about what you are developing.” WMSTI has many success stories. It helped procure a $66 million private equity investment last year for Avalon Laboratories, an international supplier of cardiopulmonary vascular cannulae. In early January, Avalon won approval from the FDA and its Canadian counterpart to market three catheter devices used in extracorporeal life support systems. Last September, San Diego-based Sequenom acquired the Center for Molecular Medicine
(CMM) – a clinical diagnostics lab in Grand Rapids. Sequenom is fielding new genetic tests that can detect disorders in the first trimester of a pregnancy. Prior to its acquisition, CMM had created seven jobs in 18 months. With its new owner 20 more jobs will be added by mid-year and 500 more over the next five years. Sequenom also announced collaboration with Spectrum Health and the Van Andel Research Institute.
MLSIC Blueprint for the Future The Michigan Life Science and Innovation Center (MLSIC) provides entrepreneurial support and incubator space in southeast Michigan. Commenting when the new site was announced last September, Roger Newton, founder, president and CEO of newly resurrected Esperion Therapeutics Inc. said, “There will be a collective synergy to having everyone together.”

Southwest Michigan Innovation Center a Leader Located in Northville Township, MLSIC is a collaboration between Ann Arbor SPARK, the economic development agency for the Ann Arbor area, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) and the Greater Wayne County Economic Development Corp. Esperion anchors the incubator, which has office and lab space to house eight to 10 small start ups at a time. Ann Arbor-based Accuri Cytometers is a classic case of the steps a company follows toward success and how a center nurtures a company through the process. Accuri developed and is now marketing a bench-top flow cytometer and cell analysis device. It started with licensing intellectual property
“Success requires tenacity, and you need to be absolutely passionate about what you are developing.” from the University of Michigan, a business plan, grant funding that led to prototypes and the establishment of proof of concept, and market feasibility. Accuri has since raised more than $20 million from venture capital companies.
Detroit Incubator Flexing Its Muscles TechTown in mid-town Detroit is the progeny of Wayne State University, General Motors Corp., the Henry Ford Health System, the Kresge Foundation, the MEDC and the Greater Wayne County Economic Development Corp. The incubator was incorporated in 2000, and tissue bank start up, Asterand, was its first tenant. Writing in his blog, Randal Charlton, Asterand founder and former CEO, said he had little money and even less knowledge about the field he was entering. “However, I did know I was getting into a business that would be global in scope almost immediately,” because friends convinced him that with the mapping of the human genome there would be a market for biological samples for the development of new drugs.
There are good financial
reasons for start-ups to locate in an incubator but it’s more than that, and the Southwest Michigan Innovation Center (SMIC) in Kalamazoo is a good example.
For one thing, Western
Michigan University’s (WMU) Bioscience Research and Commercialization Center is located in the SMIC and offers young incubator companies access to expensive Since opening in 2003, Kalamazoo’s Southwest Michigan Innovation Center has been home to more than two dozen start ups.
equipment they couldn’t afford to keep in their own inventory. There are also tax breaks from
its location within a Michigan SmartZone™, the WMU Technology and Research Park. Plus there’s subsidized rent and, in some instances, forgivable loans provided by Southwest Michigan First to help companies finish lab space. If that’s not enough, there is the office space, business services and networking that occur there.
This past March, the SMIC celebrated its fifth anniversary with the opening of an 11,000 square-foot expansion.
Since its doors opened, the SMIC has become home to over two dozen start-ups;
many begun by former Pfizer/Pharmacia/Upjohn employees. Most of the first companies that launched in 2003 were service-based companies, like Kalexsyn, a medical chemistry contract research firm, and PharmOptima, which provides drug discovery consulting and laboratory services. Both companies have graduated to their own facilities, as well as AureoGen Biosciences which is developing innovative cyclic peptide-based genetic drug engineering technologies. A fourth company, Proteos, a contract research organization focused on peptides, has become the facility’s anchor tenant.
Thirteen companies, employing more than 200 people are currently housed in the
SMIC. Some, including pharmaceutical and medical device companies, are now locating there from out-of-state. In June 2007, Venomix, a start-up that makes insecticide products from spider-venom peptides based on research done at the University of Connecticut, became a tenant (see story page 41).
Emiliem, an oncology drug development company, relocated its research and devel-
opment center from Emeryville, California in October 2007. And in the summer of 2008, Tolera Therapeutics called the SMIC home and is using research from the Cleveland Clinic to develop innovative drugs to help reduce rejection in organ recipients.
This past March, the SMIC celebrated its fifth anniversary with the opening of an
11,000 square-foot expansion that includes HVAC renovations, nine additional laboratories and a new multipurpose room with space for an additional 40 employees.
“Ours is a unique success story. The expansion highlights the foresight, generosity
and continuing support of our community to make a better place for Southwest Michigan,” said SMIC CEO, Rob DeWit.
The collaborative partnerships that make for a successful SMIC are happening
in communities throughout Michigan, making the state a rich resource for emerging biosciences companies.

“Wayne State University gave us terrific, purpose-built laboratories and provided technical and other support on a consistent basis.”
“Wayne State University gave us terrific, purpose-built laboratories and provided technical and other support on a consistent basis,” he adds. At the same time, the State of Michigan provided funding for our research and subsidized our promotional efforts... The result was that we added one new job a month for the first six years of our existence.” The icing on the cake came in 2006 when Charlton took Asterand public. The company is traded on the London Stock Exchange and was its most successful stock last year. Charlton has since re-channeled his tremendous energies to building TechTown, a nine-year-old incubator in a 12-block park that stimulates job growth and smallbusiness creation by developing companies in emerging high-technology industries, including advanced engineering, biosciences and alternative energy. TechTown is host to 70 growing companies with more than 30 high-tech start-ups enrolling in its business accelerator programs.
Working Together Regardless of Region With all these centers and a finite number of scientists and entrepreneurs it’s surprising that the centers don’t trip over each other, looking for new business opportunities. We are “competitive with other states, but we do not compete with other Michigan centers,” says Christine Turner, executive director, business development, for Ann Arbor SPARK. “We work openly with all counties (and) cities to promote job growth in Michigan.”
“We work openly with all counties (and) cities to promote job growth in Michigan.” Like the other incubators, Ann Arbor SPARK feels that its job is to help companies be successful. If it cannot provide a service or help, “we have many resources that we refer companies to,” Turner adds. “We spend a lot of time meeting and networking with many businesses in Michigan, exactly for the purpose of finding complimentary providers.”

academic institutions provide huge economic impetus for the state.
Michigan Universities
Pack a Powerful R&D Punch
According to National Science Foundation statistics, Michigan ranks fourth in the country in terms of R&D expenditures. In 2007, the University of Michigan (U-M), Michigan State University (MSU) and Wayne State University (WSU) received approximately $1.4 billion in total research dollars, according to the University Research
Corridor (URC), an alliance created by the three schools to advance their mutual interests. That amount tops total research dollars reaped by North Carolina’s Research Triangle.
Researchers at the three universities have made dazzling discoveries and awe-inspiring breakthroughs that are advancing human health. For example: l A Wayne State scientist developed the anti cancer, anti-viral drug, AZT. The drug failed as a cancer fighter but was found to be the first effective drug in the battle against AIDS.
l l
U-M scientists lay claim to Flu Mist nasal spray, as well as the discovery of the gene for cystic fibrosis. Michigan State scientists discovered for the first time that leptin, a hormone produced by fat cells, supports white blood cell production in the body, enhancing immune function.

According to the URC, from 2002 to 2005 U-M scientists received 353 patents, resulting in 43 start-up companies, generating $63.6 million in revenue. Michigan State has received 184 patents with 28 start ups and $105.6 million in revenue; and Wayne State has had 95 patents and eight start-up companies that have resulted in $22.9 million.

In 2007 alone, U-M had 329 disclosures, signed 91 licensing agreements and was issued 87 patents. Michigan State had 161 disclosures, 28 licensing agreements and 35 patents.Wayne State procured 16 licensing agreements, 45 disclosures and 22 patents. A disclosure is the written notice of an invention to the tech transfer office.
Researchers at the three universities have made dazzling discoveries and awe-inspiring breakthroughs that are advancing human health. U-M is the state’s – and one of the nation’s – leading research universities. In 2007-08 university research spending hit $875.8 million, an all-time high. The school consistently ranks among the nation’s top five research universities, based on the NSF’s R&D expenditure statistics. MSU’s Vice President of Research Ian Gray, Ph.D., says in fiscal 2008 the school received $288 million in research support from six sources, of which $164.2 million, came from the federal government. WSU research expenditures in FY 2007 were $235.2 million, a six percent increase from $220.7 million in 2006, says Julie O’Connor,

director of research communications. There’s a good reason why the three state schools can attract significant funding. “Our scientists and our universities (go) toe-to-toe with anyone,” says Phil Torrence, the managing partner of Honigman Miller Schwartz and Cohn’s Kalamazoo office. Torrence specializes in venture capital and mergers. In his 10 years in the field he has worked closely with the biggies – Stanford, Harvard, Yale and MIT. The world of funding, research and commercialization are indispensable to one another; to some degree you can’t have one without the other. In its simplest form, a scientist comes upon a promising drug discovery in the lab and then applies for a patent. Next it’s time to pursue money from the government, private investors and university. When the research arrives at a point where it is ready for commercialization the school’s tech transfer office steps in, providing all sorts of business support while hunting for private companies or equity companies to buy the product’s licensing rights. The new owner could oversee clinical trials, further develop and take the drug to market. If the drug is a commercial success, some of the dollars find their way back to the university as licensing fees. These fees are then reinvested into the university’s research units. Its location in mid-town Detroit has been a boom for Wayne State’s research endeavors.“Through our cross-campus collaborations and our alliances with other institutions such as Children’s Hospital of Michigan, the Henry Ford Health System, and our University Research Corridor, to name a few, Wayne State is actively

involved on many research fronts,” O’Connor says. The universities provide the opportunity, resources and time, but the scientists are the heroes. Jerome Horwitz holds a Ph.D. in organic chemistry and was an investigator at Wayne State for nearly 40 years until he retired in 2005. In the 1960s, while in hot pursuit of cancer killing drugs, he discovered anti-viral AZT and two other AIDS drugs. The drugs failed as cancer fighters and years later the National Institutes of Health, working with a predecessor to GlaxoSmithKline, turned AZT into the AIDS drug. At the time of his discovery Horwitz was working for the Michigan Cancer Foundation with a federal grant from the National Institutes of Health. Simon Ng holds a Ph.D. in chemical engineering and is a chemical engineering professor in Wayne State’s College of Engineering. He is deeply involved in solving the mysteries of biodiesel fuel production, contemplating using a variety of low-cost feedstock for continuous biodiesel production. He is director of the National Biofuels Energy Laboratory located at TechTown in mid-town Detroit. Robert Freedman holds a Ph.D. in psychiatry in Wayne State’s School of Medicine. His discoveries include development of a sensor to pinpoint the frequency of difficultto-track hot flashes. The sensor is less than 2 inches in diameter, weighs about an ounce and can collect and send data on changes in skin moisture for up to a month. He also is studying whether use of an anti-depressant drug has an impact on hot flashes.
“Our scientists and our universities (go) toe-to-toe with anyone.” University of Michigan scientists Ivan Maillard and Yi Zhang, M.D. are looking for ways to make bone marrow transplants safer and more widely available. Their approach, considered revolutionary, is unproven thus far, they admit. But that didn’t stop the Damon Runyon Cancer Research

The Jay and Betty Van Andel Research Institute (VARI) in Grand Rapids and the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit are privately held academic research institutes highly regarded for their respective and robust scientific programs. Most recently, VARI announced the appointment of Jeffrey Trent, Ph.D., as its new Director of Research. He was previously Scientific Director of the National
Human Genome Research Institute and on faculty at the UM’s Comprehensive Cancer Center. Dr. Trent will lead an expanding VARI faculty focused on understanding the genetics and molecular origins of cancer and other diseases in a strategic partnership with the Translational Genomic Research Institute (TGen) where he also serves as President and CSO. Karmanos is one of 40 NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centers in the U.S. It cares for more than 6,000 new patients annually and conducts more than 700 cancer-specific scientific programs and clinical trials, second only to the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX. Without a doubt, Michigan’s academic research institutions generate innovation, new technologies and commercialization ventures, a huge economic force for the state and much of it focused on the biosciences.

Oakland County Sees Bright Future for Bio Jobs
Bioscience is Big Business in Wayne County
The future belongs to high tech, and Oakland County Planning and Economic Development knows that that’s where its future has to be. In late 2004 the county created the Emerging Sectors Strategy, identifying 10 emerging industries ripe for nurturing. Biosciences and health care were two of the 10 and today are the fastest growing sectors in Oakland County, says Irene Spanos, the county’s senior business development representative. The county boasts 4,324 biosciences and medical-related facilities, including hospitals, nursing homes, pharmaceuticals, medical devices and medical office building clusters. Knowing a good idea when it sees it the county recently launched Oakland County Medical Main Street, an effort to brand Oakland County as a “medical tourism” destination. “We want to brand southeast Michigan as a biosciences hub,” Spanos says. The county is projecting the sector will create 45,000 jobs by 2018. It employed about 10,500 people last year. The county uses its existing trade missions as well as exhibiting at many technology conferences regionally and throughout North America, Europe and Asia, to hunt for new partnerships. Oakland County already has an impressive line-up of biosciences companies.
Wayne County’s economic development unit has created partnerships, granted money and reached out to biosciences professionals, all aimed at growing biosciences’ presence in the area. At the 2008 MichBio Expo last November, county executives huddled with Michigan’s biosciences professionals to learn first hand about the industry’s challenges and opportunities. This was one more county strategy to further hone its life sciences business attraction efforts, says Todd Fenton, executive manager of the Wayne County Land Bank Corp. Last summer Wayne County, along with the Michigan Economic Development Corp. (MEDC), Ann Arbor SPARK (see story 34), the Michigan Life Science and Innovation Center (MLSIC) and others opened what it considers to be a cutting edge wet lab incubator in Plymouth Twp. on property vacated by Pfizer Inc. It scored a major coup when Roger Newton moved his second generation Esperion Therapeutics into a portion of the 57,518 square foot building.

For example, The Right Place formed a partnership with the West Michigan Science & Technology Initiative (WMSTI) that, in turn collaborates with the Van Andel Research Institute, Grand Valley State University, the City of Grand Rapids and Grand Rapids Community College. The partnership has recently expanded to include Spectrum Health, Saint Mary’s Health Care, Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital, the Grand Angels and Michigan State University College of Human Medicine.

The relationships are complex, but The Right Place’s vision is simple: l Lead West Michigan business development efforts. l Identify and develop emerging growth opportunities. l Strengthen the global competitiveness and innovation of existing regional manufacturers.
Wayne County’s economic development unit has created partnerships, granted money and reached out to biosciences professionals, all aimed at growing biosciences’ presence in the area. One of The Right Place’s biggest accomplishments was recruiting Sequenom Inc. to the region from San Diego in 2008. Sequenom provides genomic and genetic analysis solutions for the research and molecular diagnostic markets. The Right Place played an “integral and critical role” in the process of creating the Medical Mile in downtown Grand Rapids, says Tim Mroz, senior director of communications. “We provided economic development support to the city as well as public and private developers.” The Right Place and Kalamazoo neighbor, Southwest Michigan First, often work together. In 2007 the pair co-funded a

thorough study of the biosciences industry in West Michigan. From there they developed “A 2007 Study on ‘Regaining Global Prominence in the Life Sciences in Western Michigan.’” The study focused on biotech, medical devices and pharmaceuticals. The results of this study and execution of the plan helped fuel the existing West Michigan’s Life Science corridor, Mroz says.
Southwest Michigan Puts Bioscience Growth First The mission of Southwest Michigan First (SWMF) “is to create jobs and wealth in the Kalamazoo region,” says Heather Smith, vice president. The nine year-old private, nonprofit organization has assisted more than 120 organizations with retention, expansion and recruitment projects. It has overseen 26 bioscience company start-ups and funded 10 companies through its venture fund. It created more than 5,000 jobs in 2008, according to its website. One of SWMF’s best tools is the Southwest Michigan First Life Science Fund. SWMF established the $50 million fund in 2005 as a limited partnership venture fund to invest in early-stage bioscience companies. Smith says the fund is believed to be the largest sum of community-based private capital ever to be raised and managed by an economic development organization. The fund only invests in companies that already have a presence or are committed to establishing a presence in Southwest Michigan, Smith says, such as Redmond, Washington-based Micronics Inc. Micronics is setting up its headquarters and production, distribution and customer support operations in Kalamazoo for the medical devices it is developing to speed up genetic testing. “We work with existing companies within our region to expand their opportunities,” Smith says.“For fund companies…we provide assis-tance in helping them find partnership opportunities, executive leadership and physical space.” Working with The Right Place, SMF has “forged a strong networking base with the

Ann Arbor SPARK has taken steps to pilot this approach to economic development
by designing initiatives and committing resources that are meant to be openly available and shared statewide. These resources include business incubation, talent enhancement, pre-seed funding, and cross-region assistance with development projects.
There are several economic programs that are “open source” and currently
delivering jobs, talent and other resources to Michigan:
l Michigan’s SmartZone network has provided the infrastructure needed to attract,
retain and grow business.
l The Michigan Life Science and Innovation Center (MLSIC) is a state-of-the-art wet
lab incubator developed collaboratively with the Michigan Economic Development
Corp. (MEDC), Wayne County Economic Development, Esperance Family Foundation,
New Economy Initiative of Southeast Michigan and Ann Arbor SPARK’s Foundation
(also see story page 31).
l The Michigan Pre-Seed Fund Capital Fund, a collaborative effort among Michigan’s
SmartZone network, has provided nearly $5 million in funding to 30 emerging
technology businesses.
l The Michigan Innovation Equipment Depot, a partnership between Ann Arbor SPARK,
MichBio and Pfizer, and supported by the MEDC,has provided nearly $6 million in
high-value repurposed laboratory equipment and supplies to emerging life sciences
companies across the state.
l The Economic Development Coalition of Southeast Michigan (members include
southeast Michigan economic development organizations) is working with local,
state, and federal government to secure necessary funding to support activities
of the six business accelerators within Southeast Michigan.

Thus emerged LEAP, a public-private partnership, providing companies in Ingham, Eaton, and Clinton counties with the tools they need to succeed. Michigan State University is the key partner in the collaboration.

A steady stream of entrepreneurs seeking ways to accelerate their business provides
impetus for regional economic development activities. Programs like Entrepreneur Boot Camp are foundational resources for new businesses; BioArbor, a monthly education and networking series, and the Annual Collaboration for Entrepreneurship showcase the entrepreneurial success needed to support Michigan’s new economy. Leveraging educational resources throughout the region is integral to economic development.

Michigan scientists are racking up significant discoveries on the road to developing the bioeconomy, and Michigan State University, along with Midland-based Dow Chemical Co., among others, are leading the way. Three years ago university President Lou Anna Simon created the Office of Biobased Technologies (OBT) to propel school research and resources aimed at fostering connections with public and private sector initiatives designed to expand Michigan’s bioeconomic sector.
OBT’s mission is to identify, encourage and support research programs that will position the university as a worldwide standard-bearer for the bioeconomy. To that end it functions as a coordination and communication office, assisting scientists in obtaining grants and contracts and building bridges to other universities, companies, and governmental agencies.
OBT’s mission is to identify, encourage and support research programs that will position the university as a worldwide standard-bearer for the bioeconomy. The terms “bioeconomy” and “biobased economy” describe a future where people rely heavily on biomass, the fuel of the future. Biomass is a renewable resource composed of plant material and municipal and livestock waste that can be converted into electricity, fuels and plastics, as well as the basic components of chemical processes. “MSU conducts a broad range of basic and applied research to answer critical questions about the bioeconomy,” says Steve Pueppke, director of the OBT at MSU.

The MSU discovery of a plant protein — trigalactosyldiacylglycerol 4, or TGD4 — last summer by Christoph Benning, Ph.D., a professor in the department of biochemistry and molecular biology, holds great commercial promise. Benning identified TGD4 as a protein necessary for chloroplast development. Chloroplasts, in plant cells, convert sunlight, carbon dioxide and water into sugars and oxygen for the plant during photosynthesis. Understanding how the protein works could allow scientists to create plants that would be tailored specifically to produce biofuels, possibly making the process more cost-effective. Benning’s work was funded by the Energy Department and the National

Both men hold Ph.D.s in pharmaceutical sciences from the University of Kentucky, which has licensed their inventions to NanoMed. The scientists met Stephen Benoit at a venture capital forum sponsored by economic development organization, Southwest Michigan First in 2001. Benoit was recruited from Connecticut to run a Kellogg Co. division. At the venture capital forum he liked what he heard and saw, and he agreed to become the company’s CEO. The company finished its first institutional funding in 2006, raising $3.3 million. It hopes to complete a $20 million Series B financing by year’s end, Benoit says. NanoMed intends to self-fund early clinical development and out-license products at Phase II or later. It plans to file an IND in the first half of 2010, with Phase I trials starting 60 to 90 days after that. The $20 million will cover the cost of the initial trials. Benoit says he is unfazed about raising more money. “Oncology is an area that is still interesting from an investor perspective.”
Dendrimer Technology Pays Off with Acquisition Dendritic Nanotechnologies Inc. (DNT) was started in Mt. Pleasant in 2003, built on technology developed 30 years ago by Dow Chemical Co.’s Donald Tomalia, who holds
45
a Ph.D. in chemistry. Tomalia’s technology focused on the application of dendrimers to safely deliver anticancer drugs, create powerful MRI contrast agents, and help provide scientists innovative materials for creating new products in numerous markets. Today DNT is a wholly owned subsidiary of Melbourne, Australia-based Starpharma Holdings Ltd. Starpharma, which purchased DNT in 2006, and develops dendrimer nanotechnology products for pharmaceutical applications. Ken Van Der Wende, president and CEO of the Center for Applied Research and Technology in Mt. Pleasant (see story on page XX), considers its purchase by a huge international drug company “a success story.”
Dendrimers
can be selected to either retain the drug
throughout its lifetime or allow it to disassociate from the dendrimer following delivery.
Tomalia, often referred to as the father of dendrimers, helped start Dendritech in Midland, as well as a dendrimer nanotechnology program at the University of Michigan medical school. Today he is director of the National Dendrimer & Nanotechnology Center at Central Michigan University. DNT, with an investment from Starpharma, began by manufacturing and selling a wide variety of dendrimers to scientists. In 2005 Dow moved the dendrimers intellectual property portfolio into DNT for a stake in the growing nanotechnology company. That same year DNT announced a breakthrough technology called Priostar, a new family of dendrimers designed to greatly reduce the cost and manufacturing complexity associated with dendrimers. With these and other exciting nanotechnologies coming out of Michigan laboratories, expect the state’s nanoworld to expand in coming months and years.

My Opinion
Balancing Life Science Efforts For Sustainable ROI By Linda Chamberlain, Ph.D. Today’s headlines are filled with various uses of the term “investment”. The assorted stimulus packages are investments in the future of our economic vitality. The re-training of workers is an investment in sustainable skills and our ability to compete, and on and on. Given the challenges ahead, the hypothesis of investment is one that we in the life sciences must take particularly seriously. Perhaps in no point in history has it been so critical for our community to deliver a return on the investments being made, and do so in a manner that is strategic and transparent. It seems many have come to associate life science new product development with an “all-or-nothing” financial model – discoveries and commercialization efforts that either go multi-platinum or die slowly in a spiral of ever-shrinking grants and dilutive equity funding. Of course, there are no sure things. But investing in life science can and should be done in a manner similar to a sound financial portfolio, i.e., balanced between short-, medium- and long-term investments across diverse markets. Michigan’s investments in life science can and should be made in a well planned fashion. In West Michigan, the West Michigan Science & Technology Initiative (the Initiative), has developed an inclusive strategy built around strengths in life science research and clinical expertise, as well as legacy leadership in advanced manufacturing and human factors in design. We are mapping a combination of life science investments, from near- term medical device, to mid-term new diagnostic capabilities to long-term development of new therapeutics to treat and cure disease, working diligently to maintain the investment of regional assets, from capital to incubator space. At the Initiative, we have a good start in implementing a balanced portfolio strategy. The Venture Center incubator residents reflect a diversified profile: Avalon Labs in medical device, Sequenom Center for Molecular Medicine in diagnostics, and ClinXus, Grand Valley State University, and Michigan State University, in research for new therapeutics. These organizations have drawn over $66M in equity investment, and are promising over 500 new jobs over the next five years. In 2008, seeking more strategic emphasis on a shorter return, the Initiative led the formation of the West Michigan Medical Device Consortium to internationally promote existing regional capabilities and capacities, as well as to build new, profitable collaborations. As is the case when managing any portfolio, delivering a good return on life science investments is a blend of science and art. Success requires collaboration and communication among many organizations working together for a shared vision. The Initiative has built several platforms for strategic collaborative efforts, i.e., filling gaps in product development infrastructure, and we will continue to seek opportunities to build a comprehensive asset base from which strong, competitive life science endeavors can be launched. These challenging economic times place more emphasis on coordinating our state-wide assets for strategic diversification. The time is now for leadership, planning and effective asset management. Our many shareholders deserve nothing less. Linda Chamberlain, Ph.D., is executive director of the West Michigan Science & Technology Initiative, based at Grand Valley State University in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
