Introduction:

Academic research institutions are a rich source of technology for commercial biomarker development. Some of today’s most dynamic biomarker discoveries originated from academic-industrial relationships, resulting in millions of dollars for universities and billions of dollars for industry. Alliances between academia and industry can be complex, but creating a win-win solution for both parties is possible and worthwhile.

Get the Answers You Need to Shape Your Strategy:

Most of the major players in the pharmaceutical industry are involved in some type of relationship with academic partners, and many successful biomarkers ultimately derive from academic research. What are the key alliances between academia and industry relevant to biomarker discovery and diagnostic test development? What is the role of government oversight in ensuring the success of these alliances?

Various relationships exist between academic institutions and industry engaged in biomarker development. What are the most common types of partnerships between academia and industry? What are the risks and benefits of each?

Industrial science and academic science have fundamentally different orientations, as well as different cultures and rules of conduct. What are the issues to consider before embarking on a partnership? What are the ingredients for a successful industry-academia relationship? What issues can sour a relationship?

Scope:

Commercial biomarker development: creating a win-win for academia and industry; the negotiation process; caveats for successful relationships.

Types of academia-industry relationships: sponsorship, consultation, consortia, partnerships and collaborations, and spin-outs.

Case studies: a partnership that succeeded and another that did not. What went right and what went wrong?

Global perspective: Select academia-industry biomarker development partnerships around the world.
