Diagnostics / Molecular Therapeutics Roundtable
October 4, 2012 (Thu)
8:00 am - 1:30 pm
The 3rd Roundtable conference featuring cutting edge Technologies of Diagnostics and Molecular Therapeutics from Nagoya University, North Carolina State University, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine.
1. Goal
The goal of the Round Table is strengthening the network beyond the borders among university researchers, startups in RTP, and business representatives from major and local pharmaceutical/healthcare companies, under the same specific interest in the research fields. NU expects the networks via Roundtable would lead to future research collaboration/licensing opportunities between universities and industries, under which the technology seeds would be further developed to commercialization by both parties.
