Theranostic-Focused Business Development and Scientific Forum

Theranostics promises to add many new precise and powerful therapies to treat different cancers. Wisconsin has a unique opportunity to be a leadership in the research, clinical use, manufacturing, supply and distribution of theranostics agents. Our research institutions are at the forefront of research into radiopharmaceutical, human oncology, and imaging; our regional industries are leaders in established as well as emerging tech ologies that are core to diagnosing and treating cancers; and our region excels at manufacturing at scale.

Under the guidance of the Wisconsin BioHealth Tech Hub, and with the support of academic and industrial partners, we are proposing a regional effort that will build a powerhouse regional engine that can help develop, scale, and product these new agents; 

• Leverage the world-class clinical and scientific research expertise in our region to help develop and validate new therapies;
• Lead the anchoring of critical production elements to protect our national health security;
• Develop a production and distribution infrastructure that can efficiently scale the output cost-effectively, and thereby speed the adoption and growth of these new therapies;
• Deploy the innovative technologies that will enable the end-to-end clinical realization of this future;

We will convene a business development meeting specifically to advance WI as a leader in theranostics and explore the above points.
