By Joel Aschbrenner, The Des Moines Register
Iowa State University Research Park is the picture-perfect model of the suburban office park - a model that a growing number of research institutions are trying to change. To recruit entrepreneurs, investors and highly educated workers who are increasingly drawn to jobs in city centers, suburban research parks like Iowa State's are adding amenities and denser developments in an effort to create a more urban atmosphere. At the ISU Research Park, construction crews recently started work on a town square-style development that will anchor a 183-acre expansion.

| |
|
By Laura Braden, Lab Manager
When people become severely burned, there are limited options available to repair the skin and tissue that have been affected. People must undergo painful and tedious surgery and skin transplants to repair the damaged skin and tissues. Stratatech Corp., one of the many bioresearch companies located at University Research Park in Madison, WI, has been focused on creating new treatment options for severe burns and recently developed a new human skin tissue called StrataGraft that was used to heal severe burn wounds in 30 patients during a recent clinical trial.
