An Overview of the Santa Fe Region’s Emerging Life Science Sector
Three of New Mexico’s rising stars in the bioscience community will take center stage at NMBio’s can’t miss April 28 luncheon meeting at the Santa Fe Business Incubator.
David S. Joseph is Co-Founder, President and CEO of Avisa, a clinical stage company that is developing an exciting, next-generation technology that enables the rapid detection of tuberculosis (TB) using a simple breath test.
Alex Koglin co-founded startup NTxBio, LLC. It rapidly screens thousands of microorganisms for potential antibodies, then quickly reproduces them to help fight disease resistant bacteria, including bacteria that cause anthrax, plague, and MRSA.
Steve Miller is CTO of EcoPesticides International, Inc., a firm that develops novel, biologic-based pesticides that stop defined pest species that threaten crops without harm to people or the environment. The company’s microbial pesticide technology was developed at the University of New Mexico and licensed through STC.UNM.
These three entrepreneurs will be joined by Marie Longserre, President and CEO of the Santa Fe Business Incubator, for a panel discussion on emerging “green shoots” and other life science trends taking place in northern NM.
An Insider’s Tips for Successfully Accessing STTR and SBIR Research Grants
Dr. James F. Leary, professor emeritus, scientist, engineer, inventor, invited lecturer, and consultant to government, business and foundations, will provide attendees with a primer on the do’s and don’ts of applying for NIH-funded research grants. Dr. Leary, who recently relocated to Santa Fe and founded Aurora Life Technologies, headed 25 years of NIH-funded RO1 research grants as well as other research grants from NASA, NSF, DOD and private foundations. He has served on more than 130 NIH Study sections and has extensive experience in research proposal writing/reviewing, including more than 30 years experience with SBIR grants.
