BioVentures participated in the AUTM University Conference 2025, held from October 26–29 in New Orleans. The event brought together professionals from technology transfer offices across the country to exchange knowledge, explore emerging trends, and strengthen collaboration within the tech transfer community. The conference offered a valuable opportunity to learn from experts, exchange best practices, and strengthen collaboration across the national tech transfer network. “From insightful sessions to meaningful networking moments, this experience was truly inspiring,” said Britney Bobo, Project Coordinator at BioVentures. “I had the chance to learn from industry experts, share ideas with peers, and dive deeper into the evolving world of tech transfer and innovation.” By taking part in AUTM University, BioVentures reinforces its commitment to advancing technology commercialization and promoting innovation through collaboration and professional development.
