Allergan and UCSB:
A Winning Collaboration for California State Grant Funding
Allergan Allergan Medical chose to become a member of the Corporate Affiliates Program three years ago.  By working through the Corporate Affiliates Program they were introduced to Dennis Clegg, then the chair of the Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology department and the co-director of the campus' stem cell center. Professor Clegg was able to be a resource in many ways by conducting research, helping Allergan Medical to locate a temporary facility on campus to rent, and together, with Allergan Medical, obtaining matching funding through the UC Discovery Program for their research efforts.To see the full story of this successful collaboration, as well as other success stories, please click on the link below.
