Center
The Institute
for Hepatitis and Virus Research (IHVR)
is a designated Ben Franklin Innovations Center because of its strong
commitment to biotechnology entrepreneurship and promotion of academic-commercial
partnerships. Its resources and scientists are made available to biotech
and hi-tech start-up firms in the area to maximize collaborative efforts.
The IHVR also actively encourages bio- and high-tech companies outside of
the area to learn more about what Bucks County and the Southeastern Pennsylvania
region has to offer.
As a designated Ben Franklin Innovations Center, the IHVR biotechnology programs are funded, in part, by a grant from Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Southeastern Pennsylvania.
