FORMING A COMPANY ONE PIECE AT A TIME: THE STORY OF CYTOCYBENERTICS
Successful Collaborations: CytoCybernetics
"You can start any business you want, but you must have customers." Great advice from CytoCybernetics co-founder Glenna Bett. CytoCybernetics is a startup company founded by UB researchers Bett, associate professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Randall L. Rasmusson, professor in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics. The company works on a drug safety screening device for the pharmaceutical industry and is set to move into Sherman Annex on UB's South Campus. The company expects to create four jobs and invest $41,000 over five years as part of the START-UP NY program.
So how did the CBLS assist CytoCybernetics?
