Our Beginning 

Ab E Discovery was born from a game-changing discovery out of Professor Mark Cook’s lab at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, nurtured by entrepreneurial scientists who took its impact beyond the lab and into the marketplace. From our vantage point at the intersection of science and industry, we see the incredible value that these innovations offer - as well as the need to support entrepreneurs in commercializing these ideas.

A full-service commercialization resource, Ab E Discovery delivers the expertise, knowledge, and hands-on support needed to develop and manufacture industry-ready innovations. The Ab E Discovery team applies decades of industry and research experience to ensure technologies’ success.
