promising biotechnology companies and leading investors.

“ConjuGon’s technology is drawing a lot of interest on both coasts, as
well as in the Midwest and globally,” said Price. “We are honored to be

unwanted and even multi-drug resistant bacteria. The company, which has
an experienced staff of eight, is located in the MG&E Innovation Center
