UGA's Inventor of the Year

In this segment, host April Sorrow, talks to the 2017 University of Georgia Inventor of the Year, Dr. Biao He, professor of infectious diseases and the Fred C. Davison Distinguished University Chair in Veterinary Medicine. He has filed eight invention disclosures, ranging from a parainfluenza virus (PIV5) vaccine platform system to a novel mumps vaccine to a method of inducing innate immunity, leading to one issued U.S. patent, four pending U.S. patents and over a dozen pending foreign patent applications.
