Back in summer 2006, a new research center in Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business was looking for ways to serve an emergent life sciences industry in Indiana.

Life Science Collaboration Series

With support from industry and economic development partners, the Indiana Life Science Collaboration Series was created to assist the state’s healthcare and life science industries with learning best practices and new ways to collaborate. The first event in the series that September focused on Indiana’s life sciences clusters.

Now moving into its sixth year, the successful conference series will open on Sept. 23 in Indianapolis with an extensive program on the “consumerization” of medical product marketing. Several marketing professionals and researchers will be among the participants at the conference, which will take place 8 a.m. to 3:15 p.m., at the Indiana University School of Medicine’s Walther Hall, 980 W. Walnut St.
