Nexus of Creative Science and The Marketplace: Partnerships That Work Alignment of basic scientific research with marketable products that meet a need occurs all too infrequently. Converting fundamental science in the laboratory into products and services that improve lives is challenging, usually requiring multidisciplinary partnerships between the public and private sectors. Please join Christopher Topp, Ph.D., Assistant Member and Principal Investigator, Danforth Center, and Warren Shafer, Ph.D., Vice President Global R&D and Regulatory Affairs, Valent Biosciences LLC, in a discussion of new ways in which Danforth Center science on biology of plant roots is informing commercial development of sustainable products for agriculture. Moderated by Vijay Chauhan, Global STL Lead at BioSTL, the discussion will focus on elements of successful partnerships between for-profit companies and not-for-profit research institutions, and how advanced imaging technologies are bridging the gaps between fundamental science and commercial applications.
