Building upon the success of last year's Stories of Women-Led Innovation Event, this forum continued highlighting the achievements and challenges faced by our women innovators and demystifying the innovation pathway through presentations and panel discussions. Sessions covered intellectual property protection, building inclusive teams and addressing bias in the context of academic innovation.
Attendees were excited to hear from our keynote speaker, Gitanjali Rao, aspiring scientist, inventor and author!
Ivy is a Life Science Specialist for VWR (Avantor) and serves as scientific sales support for a broad portfolio of products within cell and molecular biology. Before joining the industry, she worked for ten years on the bench in immunology and virology labs where she honed the skills that would be essential for her current role. She served as CFO of the CU Academic Industry Alliance from 2018-2020; the connections she made through the AIA led her to her current position, where she has been extremely successful. Originally from New Mexico, she obtained her undergrad in biology at UNM before heading to Belgium where she studied for her master’s degree in Molecular Biology specializing in human health at the University of Brussels. She also speaks four languages and is the singer for an indie rock band.”
