David Link, PhD’s Summary
I am a business and commercialization oriented Analytical PhD Chemist. I am interested in creating contacts for either Post Doc opportunities or acquiring a job related to R&D or technology transfer of science and technology.
My ideal job placement would consist of overseeing funding and investments in different research and technologies. I believe my scientific training along side my commercialization experience would benefit any R&D department or even venture capitalist firms.
