Since April, the Medical Center of the Americas (MCA) Foundation has been coordinating and participating in a series of meetings with Las Cruces leadership in government, business and higher education. The purpose is to engage southern New Mexico with the MCA’s spearheading effort to elevate the region’s global presence in the biomedical and biotechnology sector.
“In order to be truly successful, the Paso del Norte region must distinguish itself from other biomedical clusters by coming together in a strong and meaningful collaboration,” said MCA’s President Emma Schwartz. “It is by the coming together of our regional communities that we will successfully launch this transformative effort call the Biomedical Institute of the Americas.”
The MCA Foundation plans to formally launch the Biomedical Institute of the Americas by the fall of 2012. In the meanwhile, a call for logos is being issued regionwide by the MCA Foundation in the form of a Logo Design Contest. Winner will receive $1,000. Go to MCAmericas.org/bmia to learn more.
