Dear Colleagues,

I hope that this newsletter finds you doing well during these difficult times. The U-M Tech Transfer team continues to push forward with renewed focus, supporting our community of innovators as they contribute to the fight against COVID-19. I hope that the stories in this newsletter will give you a sense of the tremendous activity taking place at the University of Michigan as our inventors and startup companies work to address these historic challenges. These stories of innovation continue to give me reason for optimism about the future; I hope that they do the same for you.

Onward,
