Business First Features Jessica Winter: "People to Know in Technology"

Who should you know in technology?

According to Business First-Columbus, Jessica Winter.

Winter, who has been an associate professor at The Ohio State University's William G. Lowrie Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering since 2006, has become well known in the bio/nanotechnology field in a relatively short period of time. She and her team developed a high-caliber magnetic fluorescent nanoparticle which surpasses previous attempts. The refinement and important practical qualities of the Winter's particles allow her to extend this work to cancer detection and treatments, and with a highly competitive NSF SBIR grant, she initiated a start-up company called Core Quantum Technologies, LLC.  Core Quantum Technologies is working towards selling their substantially improved quantum dot and magnetic dot products to the research biotechnology market.  CQC's products could help researchers to significantly reduce costs and improve the efficiency of their research.  

Winter has been published in some of the most prestigious and selective journals in the field, including Nano Letters and PLoS ONE. In 2013, TechColumbus named her Innovator of the Year, following receipt of the Ohio State Early Innovator Award in 2012. Winter also received the 2013 Ohio State Harrison Award for Teaching; the 2011 Ohio State Distinguished Undergraduate Research Mentor Award; the 2010 Ohio State Lumley Research Award; the 2008 American Chemical Society Progress/Dreyfus Lectureship Award; and was awarded the H.C. "Slip" Slider Endowed Assistant Professorship upon joining the faculty at Ohio State.  In 2009, she was accepted as a senior member of IEEE.
