Three-part series seminar titled: Impacting Society Through Research
Commercializing innovations discovered in university research laboratories is an important part of an academic institution's goal to provide societal benefits. This is particularly important in an academic institution solely focused on the healthcare/ life sciences.
In this second of a three-part series, you will learn about technology transfer and commercialization.
