A series of legislative briefings were held at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus as part of a summer “Exploring CU Anschutz” outreach program. Over 30 state legislators, candidates and their constituents along with health care policy stakeholders attended briefings throughout the summer given by expert faculty at the Gates Center for Regenerative Medicine; Fitzsimons Redevelopment Authority; Alzheimer’s Disease Center; CO Molecular Correlates Lab; Bioengineering Program; CU Eye Center; and CU Cancer Center. The briefings focused on the terrific value that is returned to our State via workforce development, groundbreaking research, world-class treatment and the creation of companies that flow from faculty research.
