Commercialization/Translational Research
TIME related technology platforms, such a scaffold and biomimetic biomaterials, have become some of the “hottest” commercialization commodities that can draw substantial federal funding as well as attract venture capital for translational research. With the aid of our Technology Development Commercialization Office, we propose to amass and market an impressive university-wide TIME-related Intellectual Property (IP) portfolio, which will serve as the basis for aggressively exploring commercialization opportunities, regionally and nationally. Seeking these opportunities with a unified voice backed by a university-wide initiative, and by a strong internal and external advisory board, will significantly enhance our chances for attracting investors.
