Bioethics and Academic Technology Commercialization, a lecture by Ulrich Mueller, Ph.D., VP of Industry Relations and Tech Transfer, March 10, 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., Pelton Auditorium. The biotechnology industry has experienced astounding growth over the pst 25 years, to the point that several "biotech" companies realize valuations exceeding some "big pharma" companies. The roots of many biotech success stories are entrenched within the academic research community and this co-mingling of academic research pursuits and for-profit motive has led to increased scrutiny of potential conflicts of interest within the academic environment. This seminar will focus on these issues and will provide some guidelines for recognizing potential conflicts as well as the means to appropriately manage them.
