BioTransfer Program

BioTransfer is a "one-stop shop" for companies looking for new therapeutics and diagnostics as well as platform technologies that can improve or accelerate their R&D and biopharmaceutical production. Each 10-minute presentation from McGill University's OTT and NRC-BRI will focus on the business opportunities offered by these technologies.
