Success Factors for Technology Transfer Start-Up Companies
September 14, 2023

With the majority of biological studies conducted in academic settings but nearly all innovative new drug clinical trials sponsored by industry, improving translational research success rates for commercialization is critical to bringing new treatments to patients. Surveys of academic tech transfer offices and the biopharma industry executives working on such alliances cite as obstacles two highly controllable factors: disagreement about alliance performance metrics and misalignment of deal terms priorities. This panel discusses best practices for removing such obstacles to accelerate more promising ideas into clinical development for patients.

BIO's updated 2023 report, "U.S. Biotechnology Translational Research: Partnership Models, Management Principles, and Best Practices," is available for download at the link below.  The webinar also summarizes major findings from that BIO report as context for the panel discussion and audience Q&A.
