Bridging the Early-Stage Funding Gap in Innovation with Teri Willey
Q: For some of our listeners who might not be familiar with the term, how do you describe venture philanthropy and how is it different from traditional grant making or traditional VC?
Teri describes venture philanthropy as a fund backed by donors rather than limited partners, where returns are reinvested to fund more innovation, with a focus on disease-specific goals and patient impact rather than pure financial gains.
How Novartis Approaches External Research Collaboration with Dr. Yogesh Sharma
Q: What does external research collaboration encompass at Novartis, and how is it different from clinical collaboration?
External collaboration refers to early-stage, non-clinical research partnerships with academia, focusing on learning disease biology and accelerating discovery, while clinical collaborations involve trials and later-stage development.
Thriving in Small Tech Transfer Offices with Caitlin Long and Sanaz Shahi
Q: What strategies help prevent burnout in small offices?
Strategies include recognizing when to turn work on and off, building strong teams or partnerships across the campus, leveraging student workers to manage workload, and using established templates and processes from the AUTM network to reduce repetitive work and increase efficiency.
