I am interested in entrepreneurship and have developed a project in Polymeric Biomaterials to introduce students to the subject and give them a basic understanding of how patents and intellectual property work in the context of technological innovation. This is summarized in an article<\/a> that appears in Journal of Biomedical Materials Research - Part A.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
