UF Startup Combatting Mosquito Diseases Featured at National Showcase
UF has been nationally recognized for working with a pest control company to prevent the spread of insect-borne diseases.
On April 10, UF and the Florida Insect Control Group, a pest control device company, went to Washington, D.C. to be recognized for developing insect traps, said Philip Koehler, a UF entomology professor and the control group research head.
The group partnered with UF in 2012. This partnership was one of 20 startups recognized at the University Innovation and Entrepreneurship Showcase in D.C. this year.
