Innovation Bioscience Initiative:

Innovation Bioscience is a training and incubation initiative focused on bridging the gap between biomedical research and healthcare need. The Deep Dives in Entrepreneurship series provide an opportunity to learn about upcoming training opportunities as well as learn from and connect with the vibrant start-up community of Greater Boston.

This session of Deep Dives in Entrepreneurship will focus on Demystifying Intellectual Property (IP). IP can be an asset when creating new ventures and can serve as the nucleating point for many start-ups. As we look to a future of growing unmet healthcare need, and a growing stockpile of IP locked within “academia”, we see an opportunity for biomedical professionals to make a significant impact in healthcare and beyond. To realize this opportunity, we need to close the gap between basic research and the development of novel healthcare therapeutics, medical devices, and diagnostics through training and support.

To this end we have created an introduction to life science commercialization training program that seeks to leverage publicly available IP for licensing, as well as traditional new venture creation, toward better addressing unmet healthcare need. Through an intense experiential training program and project driven approach, we seek to provide biomedical professionals with the training and resources needed to help bridge the research bench to patient bedside. Additionally, course participants will build transferable skills in areas ranging from communication, leadership, team building, problem framing, and the process of testing and validating potential market-ready business opportunities.
