Thank you to Professor Stefan Howorka for his insightful contributions at our recent IO Converse session!   Professor Howorka, a pioneer of nanopore technology, shared that his attitude towards research has shifted following his journey to commercialisation in a discussion with Barny Cox. Previously, he was focused on producing excellent academic research - but now - after licensing his own work - Stefan is keen to patent technologies and see them used in real-world applications, alongside writing high quality, impactful papers.   Our next IO Converse session will take place in January, when another researcher will share their experiences of commercialisation for others to learn from... we hope to see you there.
