A new study says biomedical research at the Indiana University School of Medicine and its partner hospitals pumped about
$370 million into Indiana's economy in 2009.
The study by the Association of American Medical Colleges estimates the medical school pumped an estimated $142.5 million
into the economy directly through federal and state-funded research. That research generated another $228 million in indirect
economic activity.
It also estimates the Indianapolis medical school's research supported about 2,470 jobs in Indiana in 2009.
Executive associate dean for research affairs David S. Wilkes said the research gives Indiana's economy "a powerful
boost."
The economic report doesn't include the economic activity of businesses that commercialize biomedical discoveries made
by IU researchers.

I have been in training for a short time now but right off I can see that safety and quality are the number one issues, my experience as of late has been a positive one, the employees along with Jeff the plant manager and the operation supervisor as well as the engineers are a highly motivated group of people, what an asset for the area to have and for company's in need of a quality metal products.

While I understand the severity of their actions as well as everyones eagerness to hold them responsible for thier lost funds, these gentlemen did know how to make money. Dispite thier poor decisions over the ownership of Fair they had made several wise investments which paid them greatly. This proves they do have the potential to rebuild so they can repay. I do not feel they should live the life of luxuary but given an opportunity could they find ways of repaying the debts? They are doing nothing now but being a burden on tax payers. Just a thought!!!!!

Our neighbors, Ohio(6 medical schools), Illinois (7 medical schools), Michigan (3 medical schools) were all listed in the top 12 states for total economic impact. Indiana was not even listed in the top 25. The amount of economic impact for those states were listed in the billions of dollars. The reality is our state is far behind. One important step forward would be have more medical schools. Both Notre Dame and Purdue could easily support a research medical school. It is time for our state to develop the appropriate infrastructure for growth in the biotechnology/life sciences fields.
