BUFFALO, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 06/17/10 -- Cleveland BioLabs, Inc. (
Dr. Gudkov will participate in a panel session on June 19, titled, "Russia and the 'Global' Russians," which is intended to explore what needs to be done to make use of the potential of "Global" Russians around the world for the purpose of modernizing Russian society and the economy.
"It is an honor to be invited to participate in such a prestigious forum, which brings together creative minds from all over the world," stated Dr. Gudkov. "I hope to share my own experiences as a Russian-born scientist and entrepreneur living abroad who has been able to leverage knowledge of both societies to effectively establish collaborative initiatives. I believe that the recent launch of Incuron, a joint Russian-US venture funded by Bioprocess Capital Ventures, LLC, a Russian Federation venture capital fund, is an excellent example of this strategy and the ability of 'global' Russians to bring expertise back to benefit the people of their country of origin."
