Commercializing Healthcare Technologies

3 credits · Graduate

This is an opportunity for students to work on commercialization plans for technologies developed at Duke University, in particular in the areas of therapeutics (pharmaceuticals), diagnostics, and medical devices. They will have access to the scientist or inventor of the technology and will also work with an academic and a business mentor. Teams will be interdisciplinary, and students will gather and analyze data, develop recommendations, formulate implementation plans, and provide other capacity-building support to clients. Student teams will follow a structured process to develop a strategy and plan for the venture.
