Technology Transfer at NYU

NYU’s Office of Industrial Liaison manages the licensing of intellectual property generated at NYU. The mission of the NYU Office of Industrial Liaison is to promote the commercial development of NYU technologies generated at NYU into products to benefit the public, while providing resources to the University to support its research, education, and patient care missions. The Office also facilitates research collaborations between NYU researchers and industry on projects of mutual interest.

Almost 60% of NYU patents have been licensed to companies for development and commercialization. Over the past five years, NYU has ranked first among all U.S. universities in income from technology licensing, which is plowed back into further research. NYU actively promotes entrepreneurship with more than 100 companies created based on NYU technologies. Over the past 5 years, NYU has created 50% more new start-up companies per research dollars expended than the national average.

Dr. Sadhana Chitale, Director, Life Sciences Technology Transfer will describe the process, the challenges and various new initiatives developed by the Office. This workshop is co-sponsored by the W.R. Berkley Innovation Lab, the Stern Healthcare Association and Stern EMBAHealth.

Snacks and light refreshments will be provided.
