The Hybrid NIH Graduate and Professional School Fair will provide an opportunity for attendees to prepare for the next step in their careers by exploring educational programs leading to the PhD, MD, DDS, MD/PhD, and other graduate and professional degrees. Last year, more than 300 programs from across the U.S. (graduate schools, medical and dental schools, schools of public health, and other biomedically relevant programs) participated in the Virtual Fair in the hopes of recruiting future students. This year the fair will welcome all interested college students, postbacs, and other young scientists.

The 2023 Hybrid NIH Graduate & Professional School Fair will consist of

1. hybrid workshops on getting to graduate and/or professional school
2. in-person exhibitor sessions - the opportunity for you to learn more about the participating institutions and programs (July 19th, 2023)

Event Description

Dr. Haber studies the cellular processes that repair DNA double strand breaks (DSBs). He pioneered the use of a single targeted DSB to tease out details of the repair pathways in yeast. His studies have had a profound impact on the entire field, including the repair of human DNA and genome editing. His most recent work continues to identify processing steps of DSBs and the genetic factors that influence them.  

Dr. Haber is the Abraham and Etta Goodman Professor of Biology at Brandeis University. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a recipient of the Thomas Hunt Morgan Medal for Lifetime Achievement in Genetics by the Genetics Society of America. He is an avid collaborator and a generous authority on all things genetic. His scientific presentations are both engaging and accessible to a wide audience.

Event Description

Learn ways to advance your career through opportunities at Rutgers Innovation Ventures. Their mission is to partner with the Rutgers community to encourage deliberate innovation, protect and leverage Rutgers intellectual property, foster collaboration with industry, and enable entrepreneurship. There are two opportunities for grad students and postdocs:

1. The Technology Transfer Fellowship Program immerses participants into the exciting world of Intellectual Property through hands-on learning. By the end of the program, fellows will learn how to:

• Effectively protect and commercialize the results of scientific research.

• Evaluate an Invention Disclosure, prepare Non‐Confidential Summaries, and identify and reach out to prospective licensees.

• Negotiate the business terms of various agreements that govern Technology Transfer in an academic institution.

2. The TechAdvance Senior Fellowship is an excellent opportunity for graduate students and postdocs to explore career opportunities in broad scientific knowledge, basic business insight and acumen, recognizing potential research proposals and moving technologies into the commercialization phase.

• Learn the various steps and processes in the funding mechanism: screening applications and ensuring they align with TechAdvance requirements, especially around Intellectual Property (IP), Conflict of Interests, and other disclosures. Identify potential industry reviewers to match the application and capture the details emerging from the review process towards making an effective funding decision meeting.
• Receive training on our new application submission and review TechAdvance Platform (TAP), including updating data/tracking applications in various stages of the funding and post-award process.
• Participate in outreach, training programs and philanthropic activities.
• Coordinate New Ventures & Commercialization Funding Symposium Series and plan other business meetings.
• Interact with the Licensing Team to better understand the IP around the technology and/or licensing deals/terms associated with the technology.
