— Stem cell boosters say the industry is poised to boom in Wisconsin.

“Locally, there is a real critical mass in this area,” said William Murphy, a biomedical engineering professor and co-director of UW-Madison’s Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Center. “There are 50 Wisconsin companies in the regenerative medicine space with around 3,600 employees. So we already are a significant hub.

“But we are only scratching the surface of what’s possible at the university and for the Madison area. Regenerative medicine sits at the crux of a lot of large and rapidly growing markets like science tools, drug discovery, device design and tissue engineering. And this is projected to be about a $68 billion market by 2020 with a rapid growth rate.”
