Innovation Corridor Poster Sessions
Industry Sponsor: AstraZeneca
International Sponsor: Government of Victoria – Melbourne, Australia
Topics
The objective of the sessions is to cultivate world-class collaborations among academia, early stage research organizations, and industry. Topics will be related to academic research or development effort, which could potentially provide solutions to, or address, unmet needs in biotechnology. Poster abstracts should outline the problem the research or development effort addresses and identify potential commercial markets.
Benefits of Presenting

These partnerships will enable the biotechnology industry to meet the challenges of today for a more hopeful tomorrow.
