Philip D. Lane of McGuireWoods, LLP, welcomes
guests to
January’s “Brown Bag” luncheon
for entrepreneurs
RICHMOND, Va. – Many early stage biotechnology companies
are developing innovative technologies that are considered
“high-risk” investments, making it difficult for
them to obtain the necessary funding. Michael Amos, Ph.D.,
tech specialist with the National Institute of Standards &
Technology’s Advanced Technology Program, educated a
group of local entrepreneurs, scientists and industry affiliates
about the ATP’s role in bridging the financial gap between
the research lab and the marketplace at January’s “Brown
Bag” luncheon. The luncheon, organized by the Virginia
Biosciences Development Center, was sponsored by McGuireWoods,
LLP.
