Recently, a question was posed to CTTC about the timing of publishing research and disclosing an invention. Knowing other researchers might have the same question, we decided to share the answer here.

It’s not every day you get the opportunity to learn the dos and don’ts of Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) grant writing from a nationally renowned expert in the field.

InvisionHeart, a Vanderbilt spinoff based on a wireless ECG system, has been selected for the Jumpstart Foundry Class of 2013. InvisionHeart will be led by Josh Nickols, Ph.D., MBA and will participate in a 14-week, startup accelerator program.  

Collaboration is one of those words you hear daily in a professional setting. Collaboration allows us to bring in different perspectives, to see things from someone else's vantage point. Collaboration encourages the sharing and reforming of ideas so that the best outcome is reached.

Dozens of inventors, entrepreneurs and investors had a chance to "speed date" Tuesday night, thanks to Launch Tennessee and the inaugural Venture Match. The two-hour event gave participants a chance to meet, mingle, explain their technologies or interests, and learn from Vanderbilt professor and entrepreneur Benoit Dawant.

Joseph Parello, Ph.D., visiting scholar in the Pharmacology Department, earned the highest possible award for French citizens when he was presented the Insignia of Legion d'Honneur (Knight of the French National Legion of Honour). 

CTTC happily participated in the 2013 Postdoctoral Research and Shared Services Symposium earlier today. These sessions are ever-inspiring, as they illustrate the potential impact of academic research institutions.

When you put the right people in the right place at the right time, great things are bound to happen.
