The Congressman will take a brief tour of the BioPark before joining those who are working every day to make possible the success of this ambitious, sophisticated laboratory and office space on the west side of the campus of the nation's first public medical school. Congressman Ruppersberger will learn more about the BioPark's recent accomplishments in the scientific and economic development arenas, and hear directly from its drivers about prospects for - and impediments to - continued growth.
