“Since my post-doctorate at MIT, I've relied on PPG as a partner – whether for patent work or the development and delivery of new labs. PPG helped me before I even started my company, and given the incredible value they provide, we continued working with them to file additional patents.”Edith Mathiowitz, Ph.D.
