What are some of the leading non-profit biotech institutes that aren’t on NASDAQ? Why do you believe that they are not listed on NASDAQ? Pacific Northwest Research Institute, I believe they are NPOs because they are only interested in the health of people 2. How do financial markets influence the direction of scientific research and ultimately society? If the market is doing well, the company will have money to research which will benefit society when research is complete 3. How does individual product news or world news affect a company’s market value? If a company specializes in a certain product and it is reported on the news, the company will either grow or shrink on the market depending on whether it was good or bad news The average cost to get a products to the market is about $150,000 Co-run with the Emory College of Medicine The TECH program is a source of revenue generated from per-seat donations in football/mens basketball games Biomed is expected to grow by 72%, 12,000 jobs, from 2008 to 2018 Located in Atlanta, GA Named after Wallace Coulter, late inventor and alumni
