Newswise \u2014 The Federal Laboratory Consortium (FLC) has recognized the commercialization efforts of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL)\u2019s researchers and Innovation and Partnerships Office (IPO) for the mission innovation impact of two Lab-developed technologies through a 2026 award and an honorable mention.<\/p>\n

IPO\u2019s Business Development Executive (BDE) Yash Vaishnav and colleague Samantha Madru, along with LLNL Group Leader for Synthetic Biology Dan Park and Deputy Division Leader Yongqin Jiao, won FLC\u2019s 2026 Excellence in Tech Transfer Award for commercializing the Laboratory\u2019s Lanmodulin-Based Rare Earth Purification (LanPure) with Alta Resource Technologies.<\/p>\n

This is LLNL\u2019s 45th FLC technology transfer award since 1985. Recipients will be honored at the 2026 FLC awards ceremony on May 13, 2026, during the FLC national meeting in Seattle.<\/p>\n

IPO\u2019s work commercializing LLNL\u2019s monolithic telescopes also received an honorable mention under the Excellence in Tech Transfer Award category, recognizing the efforts of current and former team members involved.<\/p>\n

The FLC is a congressionally chartered, nationwide network that helps accelerate technology transfer from federal labs into the marketplace. It is composed of more than 300 federal labs, agencies and research centers and its awards are the premier honors for federal technology transfer. Charlotte Eng, a BDE within IPO, is LLNL\u2019s FLC representative.<\/p>\n

Lanmodulin-Based Rare Earth Purification (LanPure) \u2014 Winner<\/h2>\n

Rare-earth elements (REEs) are essential for many electronic, energy and advanced defense technologies. New biomining techniques could lead to a robust domestic supply chain that reduces reliance on mining and processing in China.<\/p>\n

The FLC award recognizes excellence in IPO\u2019s technology transfer of the Laboratory\u2019s LanPure technology, which can selectively extract and separate REEs from diverse sources, including rare earth ores, mining waste, coal byproducts and recycled…<\/p>\n
