Friday, April 19, we had the pleasure of touring Vanderbilt's genomics lab as part of DNA Day. In the quick, 30-minute tour, we met a handful of researchers, watched and listened as they demonstrated their stations, and learned how the lab interacts with various departments, insititutes, and other laboratories at Vanderbilt.

Tuesday, April 23, CTTC participated in TechVille 2013, a technology conference hosted by the Nashville Technology Council.

There's only one way to describe Vanderbilt School of Engineering's Class of 2013:  Innovative. 

Suppose that two entities jointly own a patent. If the first entity grants a non-exclusive license to a company, must it share the resulting royalty proceeds with the co-owner if there is no contract requiring that it do so? The answer is no.

A team of five graduate students won the 2013 TechVenture Challenge after they wowed a panel of industry experts with their commercialization plan for InvisionHeart.  

Roughly 80-85 Vanderbilt faculty, staff and students convened at the Cool Springs Life Sciences Center to learn about the university’s policies, practices, and support services surrounding innovation and entrepreneurship. 

The Mass Spectrometry Research Center at Vanderbilt is a National Research Resource for Imaging Mass Spectrometry.

For the entrepreneurs and inventors in Nashville, this month is perfect for learning the ins and outs of entrepreneurship, sharing your ideas, and connecting with potential partners.

A team from CTTC recently had the opportunity to tour the High Throughput Screening Facility at Vanderbilt. To say we were impressed is an understatement. The HTS team routinely screens 6,400+ small molecules per day at a single target, and serves as a guide to investigators throughout the drug discovery process.

It's not every Friday morning you arrive to work to see a glowing article about the effort and successes of your colleagues in VUMC's newspaper, but that's just what happened this morning.
