Michigan Life Sciences Corridor
The Michigan Life Sciences Corridor (MLSC) is a $1 billion biotechnology initiative in the U.S. state of Michigan. It started in 1999 with money from the state's settlement with the tobacco industry. The MLSC invests in biotech research at four Michigan institutions: the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan State University in East Lansing, Wayne State University in Detroit, and the Van Andel Institute in Grand Rapids. The Michigan Economic Development Corporation administers the program. In 2009, the University of Michigan added a 30-building, North Campus Research Complex acquiring the former Pfizer facility.〔(North Campus Research Complex ).〕 A BioEnterprise Midwest Healthcare Venture report found that Michigan attracted $451.8 M in new biotechnology venture capital investments from 2005 to 2009.〔(Metro Detroit, Michigan score high in biotech VC rankings ). ''Metromode'' 12-17-2009. Retrieved on July 14, 2010.〕〔(Midwest Health Care Startups Raise $780 M in 2009 ).'' BioEnterprise''. Retrieved on July 14, 2010.〕
==History==
In 1998, the State of Michigan, along with 45 other states, reached an $8.5 billion settlement with the U.S. tobacco industry.〔O'Connor, Julie. "(Wayne State major participant in Michigan Life Sciences Corridor research )".〕 Former Governor John Engler created the Michigan Life Sciences Corridor in 1999 when he signed Public Act 120 of 1999.〔(Michigan Public Act 120 of 1999 ).
〕 The bill appropriated money from the state's settlement with the tobacco industry to fund biotech research at four of Michigan's largest research institutions.〔Truscott, John. "(Governor Signs Bill Creating "Life Sciences Corridor" in Michigan )". Michigan Executive Office press release. July 19, 1999.〕 Under the management of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, the MLSC allocated $1 billion over the course of 20 years, including $50 million in 1999 to fund research on aging.〔(MLSC Background and History ).
〕 The following year, the MLSC awarded $100 million to 63 Michigan universities.〔McMahon, Kathleen. "(First Round of Life Sciences Corridor Funds Awarded )". Michigan Economic Development Corporation press release. December 14, 2000.〕 In 2002, Governor Jennifer Granholm incorporated the MLSC into the Michigan Technology Tri-Corridor, adding funding for homeland security and alternative fuel research.〔Kurz, Matt. "(Bailey named to Technology Tri-Corridor Committee )." October 21, 2003.〕 With 10 years left in the program, the leaders of Michigan hope that such investments in high tech research will expand the State's economic base.
