The convention takes place June 6-9 at San Francisco&#8217;s Moscone Center with more than 16,000 biotech executives, investors, journalists, policymakers and scientists from more than 55 countries expected to attend.<\/p>\n<p>This year&#8217;s convention features seven plenary sessions, more than 150<br \/>\npanel sessions, 1,200 displays, a business forum with 200 company presentations, and a career fair.<\/p>\n<p>This marks the fifth consecutive year that Nebraska has sent people<br \/>\nto the BIO convention, and each year the Nebraska delegation has grown,<br \/>\nsaid Marsha Morien, administrator of advanced biomedical technology at<br \/>\nthe University of Nebraska Medical Center.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In 2000, only two people from UNMC and one person from the Greater<br \/>\nOmaha Chamber of Commerce attended the convention in Boston,&#8221; Morien said.<br \/>\n&#8220;They were so excited by what they saw that they signed up right on the<br \/>\nspot for a booth at the next year&#8217;s convention. The momentum has continued<br \/>\nto build each year since.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>UNMC and its technology transfer company, UNeMed, continue to be the<br \/>\nprimary sponsors of the Nebraska delegation, Morien said, but the list<br \/>\nof partners is expanding. The University of Nebraska-Lincolns Office of<br \/>\nResearch is now a sponsoring partner, joining with the Greater Omaha Chamber<br \/>\nof Commerce, Nebraska Department of Economic Development and the Omaha<br \/>\nPublic Power District (OPPD).<\/p>\n<p>Also attending, but not as sponsors, will be representatives of the<br \/>\nLincoln Chamber of Commerce, the University of Nebraska Technology Park,<br \/>\nLLC, and an area biotechnology company, Nature Technology Corp. of Lincoln.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m confident this year&#8217;s convention will be the most successful one<br \/>\nwe&#8217;ve done yet,&#8221; said Don Leuenberger, UNMC vice chancellor for business<br \/>\nand finance. &#8220;We have a corner location for our display, and that should<br \/>\ngenerate lots of traffic.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At last year&#8217;s BIO convention in Washington, D.C., Leuenberger said<br \/>\nthe Nebraska delegation made contact with more than 1,000 convention attendees.<br \/>\nAll pf these contacts were placed in a database, which was then made available<br \/>\nto all the members of the Nebraska delegation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Making contacts at BIO 2004 is what it&#8217;s all about,&#8221; Morien said. &#8220;This<br \/>\nyear&#8217;s theme for the Nebraska delegation is &#8216;BIO&#8217;s Hot in Omaha, where UNMC<br \/>\nis sizzlin&#8217; with biotech opportunities.&#8221; To attract more attention to the<br \/>\nNebraska booth, Morien said there will be a robotic dog named Sparky<br \/>\non display. Visitors to the booth can leave their business cards and be<br \/>\neligible for a drawing for Sparky at the end of the convention.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ll all be wearing bright red shirts, and Sparky is very active when<br \/>\nhe sees the color red,&#8221; Morien said. &#8220;This will be the fourth straight<br \/>\nyear we have given away a robotic dog, and it really does attract a lot<br \/>\nof attention to our booth.&#8221; The past three years, the winners have come from<br \/>\nLaJolla, Calif., Niagara Falls, N.Y. and Jerusalem.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, visitors to the Nebraska booth will receive information<br \/>\npackets, which include a specially designed CD-ROM, which highlights featured<br \/>\ncompanies and biotechnology going on in Nebraska.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;s group has really been instrumental in leading this forward,&#8221;<br \/>\nsaid Darrell Ullman, biotechnology development consultant for the Nebraska<br \/>\nDepartment of Economic Development. &#8220;We&#8217;re glad to be a part of it. UNMC<br \/>\nstarted this whole thing and has served as a catalyst to bring Nebraska<br \/>\ncompanies and institutions together.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;By creating the partnership, we&#8217;ve all been able to benefit and it<br \/>\nhas allowed business relationships to develop. This is all about business<br \/>\nrelationships.&#8221;<br \/>\n<br \/>Ullman cited strengthened ties with Japan that have resulted from past<br \/>\nBIO conventions and noted that a group of business leaders from Shizouka,<br \/>\nJapan, Omaha&#8217;s sister city, will be coming to Omaha this week. Japan will<br \/>\nhave 50 booths at BIO 2004, Ullman said, and the Nebraska delegation has<br \/>\nbeen invited to the Japan reception at the convention.<\/p>\n<p>Morien said a small business contact from last year&#8217;s convention visited<br \/>\nUNMC and developed a collaborative grant proposal for a small business<br \/>\ninnovative research project. In addition, a contact with the business development<br \/>\nofficer of the Canadian Consulate General made at the BIO 2000 convention<br \/>\nhas led to increased activity with Canada, she said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a great illustration of how team work and partnerships have<br \/>\ncome together to promote Omaha and Nebraska in a key economic development<br \/>\narea  biotechnology,&#8221; said Rod Moseman, vice president for economic development<br \/>\nfor the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The benefits of this can come in many forms new research dollars,<br \/>\npartnerships with research companies, commercialization of intellectual<br \/>\nproperty by UNMC, joint ventures with existing firms and attracting new<br \/>\nfirms to the area. The common denominator is new jobs and new payrolls<br \/>\nin the community, which is certainly one of our bottom line objectives.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Roger Christianson, manager of economic development for OPPD, echoed<br \/>\nthese sentiments. &#8220;What we gain from this partnership is the significant<br \/>\ntechnical expertise at UNMC. We don&#8217;t have the knowledge and experience<br \/>\nin biotech that UNMC does,&#8221; he said. &#8220;This partnership brings together<br \/>\nall the pieces. If we can attract new biotechnology companies to come to<br \/>\nOmaha, this allows us to sell energy we wouldnt normally sell and help<br \/>\nkeep rates low, help the area grow and brings new jobs to our communities.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>UNMC and UNL have been collaborating more on research endeavors, Morien<br \/>\nsaid, and the addition of UNL as a sponsor of BIO 2004 is indicative of<br \/>\nthis collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are excited to tell the story of the world-class research happening<br \/>\nat Nebraska,&#8221; said Kannan Grant, UNL&#8217;s associate vice chancellor for technology development.<\/p>\n<p>UNL has identified nine research initiatives that it will highlight<br \/>\nat the convention, Grant said. These include:<br \/>\n<br \/>&middot; Using cornhusk fibers to produce a variety of textile products<br \/>\nsimilar to cotton and linen at a significantly lower cost;<br \/>\n<br \/>&middot; Development of a food allergen test kit useful in detecting<br \/>\nallergenic food residues in food processing equipment;<br \/>\n<br \/>&middot; A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) instrument that will allow<br \/>\nfor detection and synthesis of DNA very rapidly and with high fidelity<br \/>\nto detect diseases and bioterrorism;<br \/>\n<br \/>&middot; Development of a compound made from plants that could provide<br \/>\na dietary, non-pharmaceutical method of lowering body cholesterol.<br \/>\n<br \/>UNMC will highlight the research of four start-up companies that have<br \/>\ndeveloped from UNMC technology. These include:<br \/>\n<br \/>&middot; Prommune, LLC is developing vaccines to drugs of addiction,<br \/>\nsuch as nicotine and methamphetamine, and agents of chemical and biological<br \/>\nwarfare and environmental toxins.<br \/>\n<br \/>&middot; ProNutrient Technologies, Inc. has developed a new form of<br \/>\ncreatine, a nutritional supplement taken by athletes to boost performance.<br \/>\nThe product is more readily absorbed by the body and presented to cells<br \/>\nin a higher concentration than the original form of creatine.<br \/>\n<br \/>&middot; TriMed Research, Inc. has discovered a protein that it hopes<br \/>\nto use in a milk supplement that will prevent necrotizing enterocolitis,<br \/>\nan intestinal disorder that is fatal for 30 percent of the low-birth-weight<br \/>\nor premature babies who get it.<br \/>\n<br \/>&middot; Eleos, Inc. has developed an antisense oligonucleotide compound<br \/>\nthat blocks the production of p53, a disease-promoting protein known to<br \/>\nplay a key role in cancer.<br \/>\n<br \/>For more information on BIO 2004, go to the UNMC Web site at http:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/bio2004\/<br \/>\nor the national Web site at http:\/\/www.bio.org\/events\/2004\/.<br \/>\n<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to an expanding and thriving partnership involving the academic, business and governmental sectors, Nebraska is making significant strides in its efforts to become a player in the biotechnology field.
