Congratulations to Dr. Lynes for receiving a highly competitive UConn SPARK Technology Commercialization Fund Program award for his work on Anti-metallothionein antibody: a safe and effective anti-inflammatory therapy!
The UConn SPARK Technology Commercialization Fund provides that invaluable initial support to move technologies along the innovation continuum so they can more quickly and successfully reach the market, benefit society, and impact economic growth in Connecticut. View full article here.
Congratulations Dr. Cole and Dr. Lynes for being selected into the PITCH program!
PITCH (Program in Innovative Therapeutics for Connecticut’s Health), is supported by a three-year, $10 million investment by BioInnovation Connecticut, and helps innovators speed bioscience discoveries toward commercialization.
MCB T-Shirts are here!
We have received a new shared plate reader, a Molecular Devices SpectraMax i3X!
The instrument, which accommodates 12-well to 384-well plates and is temperature controlled, can acquire the following kinds of signals: absorbance, fluorescence (all wavelengths, as it is monochrometer based), and luminescence.
