Founded in 2012, the Center for Integration of Science and Industry focuses on accelerating the translation of scientific discoveries for public benefit. Our vision is that the continuing exponential advances in science and technology can be more efficiently translated to create public value.
To do this, the Center brings together teams of researchers, post-doctoral fellows, undergraduate and graduate students, and Executives in Residence with skills and experience spanning the basic and applied sciences, data analytics, management, financing, and policy to fully understand the dynamics of organizations involved in translational science. Our approach posits that the inefficiencies encountered in translating scientific discoveries for public benefit may be overcome through innovative business models and strategy that better integrate characteristics of the emerging technologies.
KEY ACTIVITES:
- Application of innovation theories and numerical modelling to characterize patterns in the maturation of biomedical technologies
- Identification of a predictive relationship between the maturation of technology and successful drug development
- Description of innovation patterns for cancer, cardiovascular disease, and Alzheimer’s Dementia to assess future directions
- Application of machine learning for technological forecasting to enhance business models and strategy in biomedical science
- Analysis of investment and value creation in public biotechnology companies
- Characterization of asynchronies between technology maturation and investment and the impact on innovation
- Assessment of the value creation potential from cultivating algae for biofuels and coproducts to guide future business development
- The Innovator’s Business Series, which brings leaders from science, industry, and government together with faculty and students to discuss issues in translational science
Funding
Founded by a generous grant from the National Biomedical Research Foundation, the Center’s scholarship draws on the strength of Bentley University’s unique position promoting the fusion of business with the arts & sciences. We are also greatly appreciative of the support provided by the Institute for New Economic Thinking, West Health Policy Center, and National Pharmaceutical Council, without which this important work would not be possible.
