Technology transfer

GRAL supports the technology transfer of innovative projects in Integrated Structural and Cell Biology (derived from academic research within GRAL’s scientific perimeter) with a recent Intellectual Property portfolio. Projects already accompanied for maturation by a valorising establishment / Technology Transfer Accelerator office are not eligible. Contact GRAL’s Executive Manager, Anne-Mathilde Thierry (anne-mathilde.thierry _at_ ibs.fr or cea.fr / 04 57 42 87 92) for more information.
