Latest Issue of The Arkansas Catalyst Highlights Campus Research
The second issue of the The Arkansas Catalyst, an online monthly newsletter from the University of Arkansas’ office of research and economic development, features BiologicsMD, a promising U of A-affiliated company at the Arkansas Research and Technology Park, highlights a collaborative study by engineers at the U of A and Virginia Tech University, and showcases the vitality of the university’s technology licensing office.
The newsletter will be used to highlight exciting research and economic development activities on the University of Arkansas campus.
