Technology Transfer
The Office of Technology Transfer protects, manages and maximizes the value of the Hospital's intellectual property by identifying and evaluating novel research discoveries that may be developed into commercial products, facilitating the intellectual property protection of discoveries through the patenting process, and working with inventors and commercial partners to introduce discoveries to the marketplace. Technology transfer also oversees corporate-sponsored research collaborations and the negotiation of all clinical trial, material transfer and consulting agreements. The group ensures that current and potential partners from the pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology and venture capital communities are aware of the Hospital's science and research activities, technologies available for licensing and opportunities for research collaboration and identifies sources for corporate-sponsored research and start-up company opportunities.
