2010 Already a Good Year for Inorganic Facility Director Delia Milliron

Inorganic Nanostructures Facility Director Delia Milliron is a recipient of the 2010 Mohr Davidow Ventures (MDV) Innovators Award. She will receive $50,000 in unrestricted funding for a one-year pilot project. Established in 2008 by MDV, an early stage venture capital firm investing in business, technology and medicine, the MDV Innovator’s Award recognizes early career scientists for their groundbreaking efforts, and provides a launching pad for promising research that might not readily receive funding from conventional sources.
