How to commercialize technologies is focus of seminar series
The CEO of Sonosite, a firm headquartered in Bothell that produces handcarried diagnostic ultrasound devices and revenues of more than $100 million, is the Oct. 13 speaker in a seminar series on the commercialization of medical devices.
The UW Applied Physics Laboratory is sponsoring the series that features founders and CEOs of successful Puget Sound companies, venture capitalists and UW researchers involved in such things as using ultrasound to monitor brain health, developing innovative technologies for liposuction and finding noninvasive methods for measuring bladder volume.
The seminar series comes at a time when the governor and legislature are particularly keen on commercializing technologies, such as the Life Sciences Discovery Fund recently established by Gov. Christine Gregoire.
The seminars are Thursdays during fall quarter at 2:30 p.m. in the Hardisty Conference Center on the sixth floor of the Applied Physics Laboratory in Henderson Hall, with coffee and cookies starting at 2:15.
