Panel Session: From K Street to Wall Street: How Public Policy and the Private Sector Impact Nanotechnology
Tuesday, February 05, 2013
01:00 PM-02:00 PM
The rise of nanotechnology in medicine brings exciting opportunities and challenges at the intersection of science, politics and economics. Join us as leaders from government, the private sector, and academia discuss the future of nanotechnology as a driver for innovation and job creation, in a changing fiscal and political landscape.
This one-hour panel session will explore opportunities in the emerging market of nanotechnology-based materials and devices, including:
- Effective platforms to connect academia, industry and venture capital
- Patent laws and tech transfer
- Environmental health and safety
- Nanotechnology innovation in the global marketplace
- Funding for academic research and startups
- On-demand learning and online educational models
Moderator: Dr. Guy Genin, Washington University, St. Louis
Panelists:
- Vincent Caprio, Executive Director, NanoBusiness Commercialization Association
- Dr. Jerry Lee, Deputy Director, Center for Strategic Scientific Initiatives (CSSI); Deputy Director, Center for Cancer Genomics (CCG), National Cancer Institute, NIH
