Physis Biotechnologies L.L.C
Starting a business in science is complicated. It involves a lot of moving targets: funding, research, a good scientific team, vision, passion and commitment to see your vision through. UACI has been a valuable asset that has provided me with a realistic snapshot of where I am now and what its going to take to build a successful company. They've provided me with landmarks and a compass in helping me achieve my business goals. I'm really grateful to be a part of this organization and for the direction they've provided.
