Big thanks to everyone from the #biotech and #research sectors who attended the pitch event at Ovolo South Yarra this week – this was the final workshop of the WEHI-Baker Institute aMoon Innovation Fellows Program. I’m sure you will agree there were some exciting scientific projects and translation pathways showcased. Guest speakers included Dr Yaron Daniely, General Partner and Head at aMoon, a global HealthTech and Life Sciences investment fund based in Israel. Dr Daniely was formerly President and CEO of Yissum, Hebrew University’s Technology Transfer Company, and Co-Chairperson of the Israel Technology Transfer Network. And a special shout out to our host, the Baker Institute’s Executive GM of Commercialisation, Dr Guy Krippner. Hats off to researchers from the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Research Institute, Burnet Institute and the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute for pitching their innovative projects, and to all the Institutes who had participants take part in the program including Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI), Hudson Institute of Medical Research, St Vincent's Institute of Medical Research and WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research). This is the third aMoon Innovation Fellows Program which started at the Baker Institute, with the content primarily delivered by aMoon as well as local commercialisation experts.
