Innovation Overground dispels myth of tech transfer offices picking winners

October 15, 2018 Comments (0) News Like

OMAHA, Neb. (December 17, 2018)—UNeMed’s tech transfer podcast, “Innovation Overground,” recently released a new episode titled, “Picking winners.”

In this episode, Overground hosts Joe Runge, Tyler Scherr and Charlie Litton, discuss how technology transfer offices like UNeMed can pick the winners from the losers. The big secret (spoiler alert!) is that tech transfer offices don’t pick winning technologies: The market does. The crew also talk about some of the surprising results of selling inventions, even the ones that didn’t seem very marketable.

The episode also featured a couple new inventions, including a hemodialysis catheter that could save patients thousands in addition to eliminating the risk associated with replacing clogged catheters.

Innovation Overground was created to help promote academic innovation and the technology transfer and commercialization efforts at the University of Nebraska and beyond. The podcast intends to examine what it takes to advance academic inventions and discoveries beyond the research bench and into people’s lives as “actual things on a shelf.”

New episodes are published on Mondays, and are available on most podcast channels, including Google Play Music, iTunes, iHeartMusic, Podomatic, Spotify and Spreaker.

UNeMed wraps up 2018 Boot Camp

August 28, 2018 Comments (0) News Like

OMAHA, Neb. (August 27, 2018)—UNeMed recently completed its fourth annual Technology Transfer Boot Camp, drilling nine students on technology transfer basics, invention disclosure evaluations, intellectual property law, technology marketing, contract negotiation and entrepreneurship.

As part of their project work, the students engaged in interactive team-based activities evaluating real inventions, developing a marketing strategy, drafting confidential and non-confidential invention summaries and participating in mock licensing deal negotiations.

The boot camp provides an avenue for students who are unable to intern at UNeMed, to learn about the commercialization process and equips them with skills that would allow them to seek out alternative careers after graduation.

“This is part of our overall educational mission, and fostering a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship at the University,” said Boot Camp director, Catherine Murari-Kanti, PhD “We hope these skills will prepare these scientists of tomorrow to remain on the cutting edge of innovative research.”

Each year, UNeMed recruits about 10 students for the boot camp, which is open to all University of Nebraska students. Boot Camp in 2018 was held Aug. 6-10.

Nebraska joins Midwest partnering group for entrepreneurs, startups

August 22, 2018 Comments (0) News Like

OMAHA, Neb. (Aug. 22, 2018)—The University of Nebraska is joining a regional partnering platform that hopes to link Nebraska innovations and startups with seasoned entrepreneurs and executives. UNeMed, the technology transfer and commercialization office for UNMC and UNO, will use the platform to help advance startups that began as Nebraska innovations and discoveries.

The platform is called the Midwest Executives-on-Roster or Midwest XOR for short. The University of Kentucky led in the creation of the platform.

Midwest XOR is a collaboration between regionally-partnered Midwest universities to broaden access to experienced entrepreneurial talent and facilitate matching of that talent to university-affiliated startups in need of executive management.

“Having access to broad range of entrepreneurs gives us an advantage,” UNeMed president and CEO Michael Dixon said. “And when it comes to advancing technologies that stand to improve the lives of people everywhere—not to mention the local economic impact—we’re going to take every advantage we can get.”

Every participating university has a research scope that is broader than its immediately accessible entrepreneur talent network, and there exists a need to better match university startup companies not just with talent, but with talent having experience and relationships in different industries. By combining the entrepreneur talent networks of all participating universities, startup companies can access a larger talent pool and have a greater chance of finding fundable executive management and ultimately succeeding. Similarly, Midwest XOR entrepreneurs that may be looking for their next move will now have an opportunity to review a larger pipeline of opportunities in a central and user-friendly space.

More than 70 select entrepreneurs will have access to the platform, and can search through the profiles of more than 50 initial university startups in the system. Additional interested entrepreneurs may access the platform through an application and qualification process. The University of Nebraska is joined on the platform by the following universities: Indiana University, Notre Dame University, Ohio State University, Ohio University, Oklahoma University, University of Chicago, University of Cincinnati, University of Louisville and University of Minnesota.For more information about the Midwest XOR, please contact midwestxor@uky.edu or visit https://www.research.uky.edu/office-technology-commercialization/executives-roster-xor.
