Call for Proposals: BioEntrepreneur-in-Residence

The Center for Biotechnology is looking to recruit another BioEntrepreneur-in-Residence (BEIR). BEIRs receive a comprehensive package of incentives to build and lead new bioscience ventures in the Long Island, NY region.

In addition to senior staff support to assist with commercialization strategies, BEIRs will also have access to the resources of Stony Brook University including faculty expertise, core research and engineering facilities, libraries, business incubators, the 245 acre Research Park, and a suite of end-to-end economic development programs. To learn more about the program, click here. Interested entrepreneurs should contact Diane Fabel with a statement of interest and resume, outlining how they would utilize these resources to build a successful bioscience company in the Long Island region. Inquiries will be considered through February 2014, or until appropriate candidates are identified.

In the article, Dr. Levy’s group has described a next-generation high-throughput system for studying protein-protein interactions in yeast, without the limitations of previous techniques, by monitoring relative barcode frequencies across time periods. This allows large scale study of protein interaction changes across dynamic environments, and can be used for rapid drug screening assays. Access the article here.
