When it comes to moving things forward…faster a personal touch is always a key ingredient. Last week at AZBio we saw many examples of that as our team, our leadership, our strategic partners and our members all came together to work on key projects. Continue reading
In an industry like ours, doing things in the right order matters. It does not matter of you are working in the lab, biz dev or the front office. When you forget to put first things first you might not get the outcome you expect…or need.
At AZBio we have been investing our time in research. For us that means getting out of the office and into the community to talk to Members, create opportunities to connect and to listen to what they have to say. Whether we are are in one-on-one visits to Members and their companies, meetings at the GPEC, The Desert Angels or BCLSA or hanging out with the AZBio Gang at Beer and Bio, we’ve been asking questions and gathering data on what you, our members want and need. So far this research has led to some new developments and there are a lot more coming, Here are FIVE important things you said…Continue reading

Students and Faculty on the biosciences – did you know that the same federal agencies (like DOD, NIH and NSF) that funded your initial research may provide you with grants of up to $100,000 (phase 1) and $1 million (phase 2) to commercialize that very same research under the $2.5 billion federal SBIR program awarded annually. The federal government desperately needs entrepreneurial researchers to create jobs over the next ten years to solve the country’s economic problems, and will support those researchers that show they can do it with SBIR funding (and other new major research commercialization programs now under consideration by the federal government). Researchers who can commercialize research are in great demand.
Are they looking for you?Continue reading
