Since the 1980s, chemical engineer Dr. Robert Langer has engaged in the world of tech transfer perhaps more successfully than any other research on the planet, launching a wide range of biotech startups through his Langer Lab at MIT.
Among the 25 companies, 811 patents and 250 licensing agreements Dr. Langer has developed or accelerated, resulting products include treatments for cancer, diabetes, heart disease, schizophrenia and other diseases.
