Here's some potential good news for Detroit: folks at Asterand and other places are working to get the Federal Tissue Bank moved to TechTown. That could cement Detroit's role in the biotech boom as a niche provider of tissue samples for research and treatment, just like the Google announcement seems to be cementing metro Detroit's role as a provider of interactive advertising for the internet. http://freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll /article?AID=/20060724/BUSINES S06/607240331 |

Here's to hoping. It will be quite the score for Techtown, the city and the state if Asterand can land that tissue bank. |

This would be very positive for Detroit. Certainly an image booster too. |
