Dr. Barry L. Marrs, founder, chairman and chief scientific officer of Athena Biotechnologies in Newark, received Delaware Bio’s 2009 Innovation Award.
Dr. David S. Weir, director of the Office of Economic Innovation and Partnerships at the University of Delaware, was awarded the 2009 Service Award.

“Your collective efforts have worked to set the course of growth for Delaware’s biotech industry for years to come,” Bob Dayton, Delaware Bio’s president, told the honorees.
All three have been instrumental in making Delaware’s biotech community into a research powerhouse and economic engine that employs 12,000 people with an economic impact of $4.5 billion a year.
