Yunlong Huang, Ph.D., top, and Mi Deng show off the iPods they won during UNeMed’s Innovation Week activities. |
During Innovation Week 2008, which was Oct. 20-24, UNeMed offered two opportunities for faculty, staff and students to win iPods.
The first chance to win came for those who took part in a campus-wide survey to determine the awareness of UNeMed and the technology transfer process.
Employees also had a chance to win iPods if they attended Oct. 24 open houses at UNeMed’s main office in Annex 14 and/or its satellite office in the Durham Research Center, Room 1007, where UNeMed personnel are on hand daily to meet with medical center researchers about licensing and marketing issues.
Winners were randomly chosen on Friday, Oct. 31.
Dr. Huang won for participating in the survey and Deng was the winner among those who attended the open houses.
Sara Conrad, licensing associate for UNeMed, thanked the campus for participating in the survey.
“We were very pleased with the response to the surveys and look forward to implementing a lot of the suggestions,” she said.
Michael Dixon, Ph.D., vice president and chief operating officer of UNeMed, congratulated the iPod winners and said he was impressed by the turnout for the open houses.
“The response to our open house was fantastic,” Dr. Dixon said. “We are excited to have a presence in the DRC and look forward to making our services even more accessible to the research community.”
