Assistant Professor Yah-el Har-el, Ph.D., joins four Temple faculty members in presenting their discoveries at the BIO International Convention
Temple will showcase faculty-created technologies and seek license and commercialization opportunities during the 2015 BIO International Convention, June 15-18, in Philadelphia.
The conference, billed as the world's largest biotechnology gathering, focuses on biomedical research and technology, a key strength for Temple and the region, which is home to 80 percent of the U.S. pharmaceutical industry.
"This is one of the premier events for Temple to generate partnership opportunities to advance our technologies, especially since over 75 percent of our discoveries have applications in the life sciences," said Stephen Nappi, associate vice provost for technology commercialization and business development in Temple's Office of the Vice Provost for Research. "What makes this event successful for us is that it attracts the key decision-makers from the companies and other organizations that are responsible for those partnership opportunities."
