How to
Facilitate Successful Research Collaborations
Adopting
best practices and avoiding common collaboration
pitfalls
Want your collaborations
with other researchers to provide maximum value to your
research program? Learn how from Stewart Lyman, Ph.D., who
headed one of the largest and most productive Extramural
Research programs in the industry at Immunex Corporation.
His presentation distills the expertise his group developed
while handling approximately 2500 collaborations during a
four year period. If you want to maximize the likelihood of
your scientific collaborations being successful, why not
take advantage of his experience?
