Manchester NIHR Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) and Translation Manchester Innovator Training Programme – ‘Commercialisation Process to Clinical Impact’

The aim of this programme is to: equip and inspire researchers, to explore and develop routes to clinical impact with industry partners, to innovate and exploit their research to drive patient benefits.

Learning objectives:

• Some innovations cannot be freely disseminated and need a commercial product to be adopted for use in patient care – it’s not just about making a profit

• Commercialisation routes: direct sale, licensing or spinout and why route was chosen for each case

• Be aware of: thinking of IP at all stages; confidentiality; ways of protecting IP; grant funding terms

• Understand role of tech transfer office and how to work with them

• Benefits to researchers/clinicians from commercialisation

Audience: Staff and students engaged in or supporting all P4 medicine research affiliated with the BRC, CRF, The University of Manchester, and/or across Health Innovation Manchester and the Translation Manchester pipeline.

For those unable to attend, a video recording of the event will be made available after the event via the BRC and Translation Manchester website.
