PNNL recognized for technology transfer
The Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has been recognized for partnering with outside companies to either develop new or improve existing technologies or processes. The award-winning partnerships are helping rapidly and reproducibly analyze proteins and manufacture metal tubes. The Federal Laboratory Consortium has announced that PNNL won two awards in 2010 for Excellence in Technology Transfer. The consortium is a nationwide network that encourages federal laboratories to transfer lab-developed technologies to commercial markets. The announcement brings PNNL to a total of 71 FLC awards since the recognition program began in 1984, which is more than any other federal laboratory. The awards will be presented in April at the consortium's annual meeting in Albuquerque, N.M. Read the complete news release.
