Post by Washington University in St. Louis Office of Technology Management (Tech Transfer)

What's the secret for success for an academic researcher working to commercialize their technology?   Coachability.   Washington University in St. Louis Office of Technology Management (Tech Transfer)'s own Malcolm Townes, PhD details why "coachability" is the strongest predictor of a technology's commercial success during a recent Project Medtech podcast hosted by Duane Mancini, M. Sc. At #WashU, that coachability is supported by many of the services and programs managed by the OTM, including the WashU Gap Fund. The Gap Fund is designed to provide funding and support for translational work that increases the chances of licensing and successfully commercializing promising non-drug technologies created by WashU researchers.   #WashUinnovators ...
