Innovation Commercialization and Start-Ups in Life Sciences

Innovation Commercialization and Start-Ups in Life Sciences

Innovation is a translation of a new method idea or product into reality and profit. It is a process of connected steps that accumulates into a brand reputation required for success. Unlike Fortune 500 companies whose projects are self-funded a start-up must simultaneously have a value proposition that attracts a customer (for revenue) investors (for capital) and acquirers (for a liquidity event or IPO). A high percentage of start-ups fail before attaining positive cashflow due to a variety of reasons that are detailed in this book. Avoiding the pitfalls and wrong turns are the goals of this book. Innovation Commercialization and Start-Ups in Life Sciences details the methodologies necessary to create a successful life science start-up from initiation to exit. Written by an expert who has worked with more nearly 500 life science start-ups this book discusses specific processes and investor milestones that must be navigated to align customer funder and acquirer needs. Successful commercialization requires attention to multiple constituents such as investors regulators and customers. Investors require liquidity for their return which is achieved through selling their stock in a public or private sale. The reader will gain an appreciation for the necessary data partnerships and skills needed to create a competitive and sustainable company. The author discusses such specific issues as customer problems demonstrating sales access and ensuring intellectual property is impervious to competitive advancement. This book is intended to be suitable for entrepreneurs venture capitalists and investors in both business and academic settings. These organizations have specific departments such as R&D operations business development legal regulatory and marketing that would also benefit from this book. FEATURES Focuses specifically on life science start-ups Examines how to determine a company valuation and future fundable milestones Explores how to align regulatory and clinical strategies Discusses intellectual property derived from a university or individual through formation to exit. Reviews how start‐ups must simultaneously meet the needs of multiple constituencies at once: investors regulators customers and exit candidates James F. Jordan is an author consultant and speaker. He is a Distinguished Service Professor of Healthcare & Biotechnology Management a former Fortune 100 executive and a managing director of a venture fund.

Project Management for Research A Guide for Graduate Students

Project Management for Research A Guide for Graduate Students

Graduate research is a complicated process which many undergraduate students aspire to undertake. The complexity of the process can lead to failures for even the most brilliant students. Success at the graduate research level requires not only a high level of intellectual ability but also a high level of project management skills. Unfortunately many graduate students have trouble planning and implementing their research. Project Management for Research: A Guide for Graduate Students reflects the needs of today’s graduate students. All graduate students need mentoring and management guidance that has little to do with their actual classroom performance. Graduate students do a better job with their research programs if a self-paced guide is available to them. This book provides such a guide. It covers topics ranging from how to select an appropriate research problem to how to schedule and execute research tasks. The authors take a project management approach to planning and implementing graduate research in any discipline. They use a conversational tone to address the individual graduate student. This book helps graduate students and advisors answer most of the basic questions of conducting and presenting graduate research thereby alleviating frustration on the part of both student and advisor. It presents specific guidelines and examples throughout the text along with more detailed examples in reader-friendly appendices at the end. By being more organized and prepared to handle basic research management functions graduate students along with their advisors will have more time for actual intellectual mentoring and knowledge transfer resulting in a more rewarding research experience. | Project Management for Research A Guide for Graduate Students

Organ Preservation for Transplantation

Organ Preservation for Transplantation

The first edition of this book Basic Concepts in Organ Procurement Perfusion and Preservation for Transplantation was published 27 years ago in 1982 when organ procurement and preservation began to advance in the study of the best ways to preserve organs for transplantation. The second edition Organ Procurement and Preservation for Transplantation 2nd Edition followed 15 years later in 1997 with the goal of finding common denominators in the best preservation techniques for transplantation. In this current third edition 11 years after the second edition similar goals are still pursued of defining the best preservation methods but there is now more evidence including results and new advances have reached publication and are being incorporated into ischemia and reperfusion techniques and organ preservation studies. Many preservation solutions have been introduced important preservation solution components have been better defined and improved perfusion methods are being considered especially for the increasing number of organ donors with non-beating hearts who are being sought for transplantation. This edition (2009) engaged experts in the field of organ preservation to review update and rewrite each of the chapters. Crafted in collaboration with Luis H. Toledo-Pereyra the text is eminently informative and easily understandable. Each solid organ that can be transplanted has an entire chapter devoted to the particular methods of its preservation. One chapter apiece in other words features insights on the preservation of the kidney the liver the pancreas the small bowel the heart and the heart-lung. The title of the present book has been shortened to better represent its content. Thus Organ Preservation for Transplantation 3rd Edition demonstrates a more accurate depiction of its current status. Nevertheless the goal of this book remains exactly the same as in the first edition that is “to analyze the most important aspects of organ procurement perfusion and preservation for transplantation”.

Fundamental QSARs for Metal Ions

Fundamental QSARs for Metal Ions

Fundamental QSARs for Metal Ions describes the basic and essential applications of quantitative structure–activity relationships (QSARs) for regulatory or industrial scientists who need to predict metal ion bioactivity. It includes 194 QSARs that have been used to predict metal ion toxicity and 86 QSARs that have been used to predict metal ion bioconcentration biosorption and binding. It is an excellent sourcebook for academic industrial and government scientists and policy makers and provides a wealth of information on the biological and chemical activities of metal ions as they impact health and the environment. Fundamental QSARs for Metal Ions was designed for regulatory and regulated organizations that need to use QSARs to predict metal ion bioactivity as they now do for organic chemicals. It has the potential to eliminate resources to test the toxicity of metal ions or to promulgate regulations that require toxicity testing of metal ions because the book illustrates how to construct QSARs to predict metal ion toxicity. In addition the book:Provides a historical perspective and introduction to developing QSARs for metal ionsExplains the electronic structures and atomic parameters of metals essential to understanding differences in chemical properties that influence cation toxicity bioconcentration biosorption and bindingDescribes the chemical properties of metals that are used to develop QSARs for metal ionsIllustrates the descriptors needed to develop metal ion-ligand binding QSARsDiscusses 280 QSARs for metal ions Explains the differences between QSARs for metal ions and Biotic Ligand ModelsLists the regulatory limits of metals and provides examples of regulatory applicationsIllustrates how to construct QSARs for metal ionsDr. John D.
