This presentation will focus on the process of translating the ​​intellectual property​ resulting from your research​ into commercial innovation that addresses ​the public’s needs and wellbeing.  ​We will focus on biomedical innovation.  ​Key challenges include learning the language of value creation, engaging the multiple stakeholders, and finding common ground upon which to build commercial success and clinical value.  Case studies of both success and failure in this translational endeavor will reveal ways we can learn from others’ mistakes and improve upon ways to innovate.
