Abstract:
The CBC Entrepreneurial Fellows (EF) Award program identifies and supports the professional development of academic researchers who are keen to develop the skills and experiences needed to move translational projects from a university lab toward commercialization and potentially into a Chicago-based biotech start-up. The program exposes Fellows to a breadth of real-world experiences with the full span of their home institution and across the CBC community. Fellows will receive guidance from a wide range of mentors, including university faculty, staff and tech transfer, industry experts and other representatives of the biomedical community.
