Crossing Boundaries
The Do's and Don'ts of a Med School Professor
Starting a Business
• Traditional Academic World
– Goal: Understand and Communicate Something That Other People Can Learn
– Propose and Prove Hypotheses; Publications (Scientists)
– Inventions seem to appear “out of the blue” in this setting
• The Corporate World
– Goal: Make Something That Other People Can Use
– Deliverables and Applications Oriented; Products (Entrepreneurs)
– Innovations occur by collaboration and networking in this setting
• The New Translational Science
– Teach and Encourage Innovation
– Promote an Entrepreneurial Spirit

What are the tools of successful
Entrepreneurship? (Wollaeger)
Technology
Sustaining vs. Disruptive
Patents – a vocation, not inspiration
don’t have to appear out of the blue
Scientists and engineers can learn to invent
