Princeton Senior Gabbie Acot (left) discusses her senior thesis exploring the reconstruction of traumatic head injuries with advisers Annegret Dettwiler-Danspeckgruber, principal investigator at the Neuroscience of Traumatic Brain Injury Research Laboratory at Princeton Neuroscience Institute (center), and Branko Glišić, associate professor of civil and environmental engineering (right). Acot combined her interests in medicine, engineering and neuroscience, offering a promising approach to understanding how the brain is injured during a concussive hit.

Seven technologies that address some of society’s biggest challenges from foolproof antibiotics to low-cost water purification will receive support for research and development through Princeton’s Intellectual Property Accelerator Fund.
A technology for illuminating targets for new drugs against cancer and viruses is one of several selected to receive support from the Intellectual Property Accelerator Fund to help develop Princeton discoveries to the stage where they can have broader societal impact.

The program gives discoveries an extra push through the development pipeline to bring technologies to the stage where they are ready for further investment, from either a startup or a larger company.
