Aside from actively facilitating local biotech development, we aim to raise awareness on research commercialization as a potential outcome for academic research. Three educational seminar programs have been developed that aim to support this goal:

• Commercial Awareness for Researchers, a seminar series targeting academic bioscience researchers and aimed at educating faculty on IP-awareness, institutional technology transfer policies and biotech entrepreneurship


• Bridging Louisiana Bioscience, an event series targeting existing Louisiana bioscience companies in order to promote collaboration and awareness of biotech activity in the area.


• New Orleans BioInnovation Networking Group (NOBING): A non-profit initiative founded to support and facilitate biotech entrepreneurship in New Orleans and southeast Louisiana. NOBING achieves this goal by hosting social events to provide a relaxed forum so scientists/entrepreneurs, business facilitators, lawyers, and venture capitalists can interact. These people do not usually mix, but their interaction is necessary and important for the economic development of biotechnology in New Orleans. These people do not usually mix, but their interaction is necessary and important for the economic development of biotechnology in New Orleans. Usually preceded by an intimate seminar or panel discussion, the NOBING receptions boasts large turnouts and excellent networking and learning opportunities.
