Jump Start Workshop: Demystifying early-stage drug, device and platform development in academic settings
During this session our panelists will present and discuss the scientific and business activities that can transform an invention developed during academic research into a business opportunity that can attract investment and industry partnerships. You will learn from real-world examples about the steps that increase likelihood of success of technology development, important considerations during discovery phase, and the added value of building the intellectual property and business strategy in an academic setting. This session aims to stimulate the idea of “thinking commercially” during the research and discovery phase for everyone interested in drug, device and platform development at UofT.
The goal of PRiME's Jump Start series is to provide a comprehensive look into the essential steps involved in development of pre-clinical drugs, devices, and platform technologies. In the series we engage with experts to discuss important considerations to ensure success at each step of the development process.
These workshops are open to all Trainees and Principal Investigators at UofT.
