This symposium will introduce the attendees to a blueprint of how to transform a laboratory scientific discovery in to a viable biotech venture by providing an overview of the guiding concepts underlying technology commercialization, engaging in interactive case studies, and enabling networking opportunities with biotech and business leaders. In the first section of the symposium, a panel of biotech entrepreneurs will present on a broad array of commercialization topics such as market valuation, intellectual property, small business financing, technology commercialization resources, and effective business development. The talks will follow by a case study discussion session focused on the feasibility and commercialization path for a therapeutic technology and concluding in a networking session.
