 To say the business of research commercialisation is a huge undertaking is an understatement.
Governments, universities and corporations collectively invest millions of dollars annually to get 'an edge' - the new or improved breakthrough that can literally make fortunes.
Did we also mention it is tough? Really tough. The fight for research funding, pre-seed capital, seed capital, investment capital is brutal. The probability of failure is high and the possibility of profit is low.
In this series we showcase three outstanding women who have toughed their way through the intellectual and commercial processes to be world leaders in their field.
