Kuuttila will discuss the way the Science and Technology Corporation patents ideas and devices from faculty and student inventors and will discuss ways the STC worked with Sibbitt to market and patent his reciprocating safety syringe. Sibbitt will discuss his experience, and his company AVANCA Medical Devices, Inc. The company was formed to manufacture and market the syringe and other hand-held medical devices.
Kuuttila says this is the first of a series of interviews Aherns plans to do with UNM inventors.
