  • Come to our 2nd event on Technology transfer and IP!!!

    Dear members

    Our next event is on Monday 2nd of March at 6pm (Blackett Lect1,Prince Consort rd SW7). The Talk will be about Technology transfer and Intellectual property.
    We are thrilled to have Hugh Penfold of Imperial Innovations to come and speak about his 20 years of experience with spinning out companies in the Bio-tech sector.

    Have a look at his impressive Bio below!

    Hugh Penfold has over twenty years experience in the pharmaceuticals and biotechnology industries. He has held international business development positions in large and small companies (Medeva, Amersham, Celltech, Avidex), and in the public sector (British Technology Group). Prior to joining Imperial Innovations in June 2005, Hugh was Business Development Director for a non-profit organisation, MIHR, improving access to healthcare in the developing world through innovative management of intellectual property.
    His experience in pharmaceuticals and biotechnology licensing and intellectual property includes small molecule drugs, biopharmaceuticals, vaccines, devices and drug delivery technologies. He has also established several profitable international collaborative ventures with the former Eastern bloc. Hugh's training included undergraduate and postgraduate studies in genetics, and a postdoctoral fellowship studying mammalian cell genetics.

    We are still awaiting final confirmation by Prof Cheeseman, founder of NovaCem a very promising Green-tech spin-out which recently won the Rushlight award!
