Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This 10-week course is designed to teach research scientists how to navigate the path necessary to bring a basic science discovery out of the university and into the clinic. Participants will learn the criteria used by the private sector to assess the potential of discoveries that have therapeutic or diagnostic applications. They will understand how proof-of-concept and validation experiments define the application, increase value, and reduce risk. The course will focus on the importance of intellectual property protection as the engine that creates a barrier to entry for competition and also enables investment from the private sector to fund the climb over regulatory and reimbursement hurdles to reach patients. This course is open to all scientific researchers and those interested in gaining knowledge of the commercial development process. The core faculty for the course will include OED staff members, and numerous guest speakers and panelists from the scientific and entrepreneurial community.
