Brief History

[edit]

LabTV is a private company that was founded in 2013 by entrepreneur Jay Walker[4] as a way to help get more students to consider a career in medical research. In 2014, Mr. Walker and LabTV’s executive producer David Hoffman received Disruptor Innovation Awards at the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival[5][6] for LabTV’s work in getting university students around the country to create short personal interviews of National Institutes of Health-funded medical researchers.[7]

Winners of the LabTV contest included student filmmakers from Columbia University,[8] the University of Delaware,[9] Cornell University,[10] University of Hawaii,[11] University of Pennsylvania,[12] Tufts University,[13] George Washington University,[14] the University of Virginia,[15] The University of Chicago,[16] and the University of Georgia[17] among others. LabTV continues to film medical researchers at dozens of universities and organizations, including the National Institutes of Health[18] and Georgetown University[19]
