LABEST PROFESSOR SPOTLIGHTS
Professor Spotlight Webinar Series is one of a kind initiative by UCLA TDG for UCLA’s scientific community to share their research, vision and major programs how they are working towards addressing critical unmet needs whilst, fostering a culture of entrepreneurship and innovation amongst the faculty members and the Los Angeles bioscience ecosystem.
Hear first-hand from UCLA’s leading inventors as they discuss their research and look to build successful collaborations and invite investment opportunities to advance their research as one step forward in bridging the gap between scientific discovery and commercialization.
So, get ready, grab your favorite drink and engage with our first "Professor Spotlight Webinar Series”
