UKACCEL PROGRAM GRADUATES TWO TEAMS
Congratulations to our two UKAccel graduate teams!

OTC changed up its format for this spring's UKAccel program so the teams could work together in a cohort. This format provided an opportunity for the participants to learn from one another.

The first team consisted of Dr. Madhumathi Rao, Clay Larkin and Florence Lima working on the innovation of the Bone Biopsy Trephine System, and the second team consisted of Dr. Christine Trinkle and Soroosh Torabi working on the innovation of the Microfluidic Platform for 3D Cell Culture.

DID YOU KNOW?
Ian McClure, OTC's executive director, was featured in an Intellectual Asset Management (IAM) article. He discusses tech transfer's role during this unusual time.

“This entire environment has put a really big spotlight on technology transfer because everyone is wondering what if the diagnostic tool or the screening device that’s going to help us get back to normal, is federally funded and can be found at a university.”
