Lab receives UTAG Grant
University of Utah researchers have won six of the 20 University Technology Acceleration Grants (UTAG), a program that provides crucial funds to accelerate university-developed technologies from the idea stage to the market. The group is the first round of UTAG winners, funded by the Utah Science Technology and Research (USTAR) initiative.
Among the U’s winners are biochemist Danny Chou, bioinformatician Alistair Ward and pharmaceutical chemist Shawn Owen.
TEC highlighted at World Biomaterials Conference 2016
Our platform, Target-Engaged Complementation (TEC) was highlighted at the recent WBC.
Only 1 out 300+ talks was highlighted each day!
Scholarship! – Jessica received a UNCF/Merck Science Initiative Fellowship
Jessica was one of ten recipients to receive the prestigious fellowship for 2015. She recently traveled to meet mentors and fellow awardees.
We are very excited for the opportunities this award will provide for Jessica. Congratulations!
