Panel on Use of Academic and Federal Core Research/Lab Facilities in New Jersey
Princeton, NJ. March 15, 2023: The panel discussion on “Use of Academic and Federal Core Research/Lab Facilities in New Jersey” was a highly informative and beneficial event we recently attended. The panelists were experts in their respective fields. They provided valuable insights into how to access New Jersey’s academic, federal, and nonprofit core labs to accelerate research and development through the Commission on Science Innovation and Technology’s Catalyst and Clean Tech R&D Voucher Grant Program.
The panel was comprised of distinguished individuals such as Vince Smeraglia from Rutgers University, Alex Norman from Princeton University, Irene Wei from CSR Pharma Group, Frances Keel from CSIT, and Nyron Khan from Six Therapeutics. They shared their expertise and answered several questions from the audience, which included entrepreneurs, startup founders, and early-stage firms.
Judith Sheft initiated the panel discussion from CSIT, and Mahako Etta from the same organization moderated the event. The panel was hosted at the Biolabs facility in Princeton, which provided an ideal setting for the discussion.
Overall, the panel discussion provided several key takeaways that will be invaluable for founders of NJ-based startups and early-stage firms. The event was well-organized and highly informative, and we would like to thank the organizers and hosts for their efforts in putting together such a value-added event.
