Dr. Kaplan is honored to be among the amazing panelist on a webinar by the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s (USPTO) free online webinar, “Together in Innovation: Agricultural advances.

Expert panelists covered:

• Valuable resources innovators can use to protect their intellectual property (IP) and secure funding for their enterprises
• The challenges women innovators face and overcome in agricultural innovation
• Entrepreneur organizations and funding sources

If you missed the webinar on Feb 28, you have a second chance.

A brief highlight of the webinar and how Pheronym utilized USPTO sources is on Medium.

 

Dr. Kaplan talked to the 2nd year Bio students at UC Davis BioLaunch Career Lab on Feb 10, 2023,  about her career path, Pheronym, and our technology harnessing pheromones to create climate-resilient pest control solutions for farmers.

We thank Professor Carrie Ozeran for this opportunity to connect with UC Davis undergraduate students.

Pheronym is also looking for interns. If you are interested, find us in UC Davis Handshake.

How Nematodes and Pheromones Will Be Used in the Future of Gardening.

Dr. Fatma Kaplan, Pheronym’s CEO and founder, was a guest on the Joe Gardener podcast. They talked about how lab-produced pheromones can be used to repel pest nematodes and stimulate beneficial nematodes for insect control. To learn more about nematodes and pheromones, follow the link to listen to the podcast.

A great honor to meet CA Senator Anna Caballero at Berkeley lab and tell her about our technology nematode pheromones to help farmers to manage pests in the soil.

Join Dr.Kaplan on November 9, 2022 at 12:10 PM- 2:00 PM PST for “Nematode pheromone extracts act as boosters for entomopathogenic nematodes’ efficacy to control agricultural pests in the soil” as part of the WSU Molecular Plant Sciences Seminar Series. She will discuss beneficial nematodes, pheromone extracts, and their impact on controlling agricultural pests!

The seminar will be held on zoom through the Molecular Plant Sciences Graduate Program at WSU.

Our CEO, Dr. Kaplan, is presenting Pheronym’s technology at the “New Crop Yield Technology Companies Improving Sustainability” Symposium at the American Chemical Society-Agro Division 2022 Fall National Meeting in Chicago, IL, on August 23.

McCormick Place, 2301 S King Dr, Chicago, IL 60616

This symposium highlights innovative young companies in crop yield enhancement, describing their technical offerings and business models. There will also be discussions on the opportunities and pitfalls of forming a new company in agricultural yield and how these new companies will advance into sustainable agricultural practices and regulatory frameworks.

Dr. Kaplan is giving a plenary lecture as an ISCE Applied Chemical Ecology Award winner at this year’s ISCE-APACE Joint Meeting 2022 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on August 9th.

Lecture Title: Nematode pheromone extracts act as boosters for entomopathogenic nematodes’ efficacy to control agricultural pests in the soil

To know more about Pheronym’s technology, please join us either in person in Kuala Lumpur or virtually on August 9th!
