Collaboration with universities

In addition to the chemotherapeutic approaches, the industry, again in collaboration with university colleagues, has been working on an effective vaccine for fhis disease. The history of viral disease has been one in which vaccines have been much more successful fhan chemofherapeutic agenfs, whereas, to date, the reverse is the case with AIDS. 

I remember the days when industrial scientists felt like they needed to have most research and development under their control. The chemical industry has led the way in showing that need not be the case. Two things that a company needs to do well no matter how big it is are (1) form partnerships and alliances to provide for the research and development they cannot do themselves and (2) be open minded about ideas that come from other sources. Both of these can require working closely (collaborating) with universities. 

We need to collaborate with universities, small startups, government laboratories, other companies, and with other functions across the entire corporation. 

One way in which a small company can keep abreast of new developments is to collaborate with universities. Moreover, such collaboration helps to motivate staff (and publication of results provides advertising). One fruit of such a collaboration was a synthesis of LTB4, in which chiral moieties of the molecule are derived from the enantiomers of a common intermediate (ll).11 Several routes have been devised for enzyme-catalyzed kinetic resolution of bicyclo[3.2.0]heptenones.12 An efficient one that was used for the synthesis of LTB4 (12) is shown in Scheme 29.4. 

From collaborations with universities in other countries by tapping into world class competencies. 

In collaboration with University of Trieste, we have developed rational approaches for the design and synthesis of peptidomimetic and non-peptidic inhibitors of HIV PR, utilizing structure-based [12-15], as well as combinatorial, library design methods [16, 17]. In this paper, we survey computer-assisted studies on the design, focusing and in silico screening of virtual combinatorial libraries of peptidomimetics and cyclic ureas, as potential anti-HIV agents, that were carried out in our laboratory. 

Creavis, part of Evonik, has its own unique approach towards the fast and successful entrance of markets that are relatively new to Evonik. The time between an invention and the corresponding market-ready end-product is reduced tremendously, by housing closely collaborating fundamental and applied research, as well as marketing and sales, under one roof in the science-to-busi-ness centre. Creavis close collaboration with universities and industry along the entire value chain is also an essential contribution to the fast development of new products. 

We have been able to observe time dependent water distribution in an operating fuel cell. The result should be useful in modeling water transport mechanism and design of flow channels. We plan to collaborate with University of Miami (among others) in this regard. 

To work closely with NGOs and collaborate with universities, institutions, research organisations and press agencies, and also with other related official and civil organisations, to improve organic agriculture in this country. 

Stimulate open liaison and collaboration with universities, government agencies, advisors, extension workers, distributors and farmers. 

Innovations mainly come fixnn large coitqianles which have their own research and development departments. However, many novel products will continue to be developed by small and medium size coirqKinies - albeit largely through collaboration with universities and higher educational institutions.

Resources are available to assist entities with taking steps to identify, quantify, and manage potential risks of products to employees, consumers, and the environment. Some of these resources include the Nanoparticle Information Library maintained by NIOSH collaborations with universities and government laboratories the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI)-mandated National Nanotechnology Characterization Centers and the International Council on Nanotechnology (ICON) Nanotech EHS Reference Database. 

Aarhus University offers the BSc, MSc and PhD in BME. BME research in Aarhus includes research in medical imaging and cardiovascular technology. The Technical University in Denmark in collaboration with University of Copenhagen offers the BSc, MSc and Phd in BME and BME-research includes research in medical ultrasound and image analysis. 

The process does have limitations. There is a need for the skin and core materials to be compatible with each other in terms of adhesion and shrinkage. Adhesion of the layers is necessary to prevent the core material becoming detached from the skin especially if the moulding is likely to be exposed to mechanical loads. Therefore materials must be compatible or a suitable compatibiliser used in the core component. The use of compatibilisers in the core component of co-injection moulding was developed and patented by the Rover Group in collaboration with University of Warwick [1]. Researchers from Warwick have also developed and reported methods to mechanically interlock immiscible materials for co-injection moulding but these are currently in the early development stages [2].
