Stem cell research can spur economic growth, researcher says

Wayne State economist Allen Goodman's participation on a panel examining stem cells and regenerative medicine as an engine for economic growth is noted in this story covering the 2010 Stem Cell Summit. Goodman pointed to an economic impact study he completed in 2008 on the potential benefits if Proposal 2 was passed by voters in Michigan to allow stem cell research. He said that if stem cell research had just a 1 percent impact on the 50,000 biotech jobs in the state before the proposal's passage, that would translate into 797 jobs and $51 million in increased payroll.
