The Neutrino Donut – University Technology – Startups – SBIR Programs

The Neutrino Donut is actively looking for university technologies to license to manage through the SBIR process. This will allow the university to develop new technologies, create research projects within the university, and develop a startup to advance their technologies into the marketplace.

I will be at the BIO Convention in San Diego looking for opportunities.

Universities interested in this program should contact The Neutrino Donut at ehager (at) neutrinodonut (dot) com.

Neutrino Donut – BIO Conference – San Diego – #BIO2022

The Neutrino Donut will be attending the BIO Conference in San Diego in June. We are seeking partnerships to advance technologies through the SBIR space. We are looking to set up meeting with tech transfer groups, venture capital groups, and corporate venture groups. We believe there is a major value add to these organizations by getting involved in startups that will have undiluted funding to advance the technology and technical and commercialization validation process, making these startups more interesting to these groups. Let’s chat in San Diego!

Neutrino Donut – Book Recommendations – “Digital Leapfrogs: How Technology is Reshaping Consumer Markets in India” – Vijay Mahajan of The University of Texas at Austin

Dr. Mahajan has written several volumes on the startup infrastructure in the third world. His insights have been interesting and I commend his books to you.

Attached is his new book announcement.

Greetings from the University of Texas at Austin 

My next book on developing countries titled, Digital Leapfrogs: How Technology is Reshaping Consumer Markets in India, is being released by HaperCollins (see attachment). For comparison, the book also includes my interviews and market visits in Kenya. 

FICCI (Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry) is hosting the book launch event on April 13 in New Delhi in collaboration with the Internet and Mobile Association of India.

More information can be found on Amazon. 

If convenient and appropriate, please do share information with your friends, collogues and social media followers who may be interested in this topic.

Neutrino Donut – Writing a Good Aims Summary

Writing the Aims for your project is key to developing your commercialization strategy. The Donut recently noted a posting which best described how to write the Aim. You need to have the Title, Experimental Strategy, and Outcome or Impact.

Here is an example of the Aims section:

(Title) Aim 1 will establish an innovative mouse model for HTLV-1 Tax tumorigenesis. (Experimental Strategy) Targeting vectors containing silenced wild-type or mutant Tax genes will be knocked in to the Rosa26 locus of C57BL/6 mice. These mice will then be crossed with homozygous Lck-CRE mice, thereby excising the stop cassette and (Outcome or Impact) generating mice that express wild-type or mutant Tax proteins specifically in T cells.

(Title) Aim 2 will examine the effect of mutations that disable specific biological functions of Tax on Tax-mediated tumorigenesis. Tax can bind to and regulate the activity of members of the SRF, CREB, NF-kB and PBM protein families, each of which has been implicated in oncogenesis. (Experimental Strategy) Mice established in Aim 1 will allow us to compare for the first time the tumorigenic potential of wild-type and mutant Tax proteins in an (Outcome or Impact) effort to identify pathways that are required for Tax tumorigenesis. 

All three items should be noted in your description of the Aim. For more information, check out the author’s posting at https://www.biosciencewriters.com/NIH-Grant-Applications-The-Anatomy-of-a-Specific-Aims-Page.aspx.
