Tech, Drugs, and Rock n’ Roll

On July 15th, 2014, the Office of Technology Development at Boston University will host its fifth annual technology networking event entitled, Tech, Drugs, and Rock n’ Roll (TDRR), from 4-8pm in the Metcalf Ballroom of the George Sherman Union.

TDRR is a networking event designed to connect scientists and engineers with entrepreneurs, investors, and innovators. The event will showcase emerging technologies from Boston University’s research programs in the fields of life sciences, physical sciences, medical technology, new ventures, and student-based ventures. The event will also include participation from key translational research centers including the Clinical and Translational Science InstitutePhotonics Center, Fraunhofer Center for Manufacturing Innovation, and Wallace H. Coulter Foundation.

The event prides itself on finding a great band every year to provide lively music and create a relaxed atmosphere for networking. This year, TDRR welcomes the musical talents of Poor Old Shine, a band who specializes in alternative Americana music.

The Boston University Provost, Jean Morrison, will also be attending to announce the recipient of this year’s Innovator of the Year Award. This award seeks to highlight translational research at Boston University by recognizing an entrepreneurial faculty member who translates their world-class research into inventions and innovations that benefit humankind.

The sponsors of this year’s Tech, Drugs, and Rock n’ Roll event are Sanofi, Shore Chan, Pfizer, and Wolf Greenfield. They will all be joining us at the event to celebrate innovation in a high-energy fashion.
