The UMass Center for Clinical & Translational Science, in collaboration with Massachusetts Medical Device Development Center (M2D2), is sponsoring a luncheon seminar focused on the essentials of SBIR/STTR grant applications.

The session will feature Natalie Rudolph, PhD from Rudolph Biomedical Consulting as a distinguished speaker.
Dr. Rudolph's familiarity with both corporate and academic research culture draws on more than 24 years of experience in the biotech and biomedical industries. She held scientific and management positions at two start-up biotechnology companies, where she helped to develop and support three lines of biomedical assay reagents, managed an intellectual property portfolio, and coordinated technology licenses and extramural research collaborations. For the last 17 years, she has worked with small companies and research institutions to develop R&D project strategies and fund them through non-dilutive grants and contracts.
