The Celebration of Inventorship was held via webinar on September 10, 2020. The University innovation community convened online to recognize the UNC Inventor of the Year Michael Ramsey, PhD, Minnie N. Goldby Distinguished Professor of Chemistry, who will provide a talk about his research and work in commercialization. We will also celebrate all faculty, student and staff inventors from UNC-Chapel Hill who received issued patents during the past year.
Congratulations to all of the following recipients!
