Every year, billions of dollars are invested by funding agencies in basic and translational research, yet the path from academic discovery to private investment necessary for the creation of new companies is rarely straightforward. In this seminar, you'll get an inside look at how investors work, what makes a research idea stand out to venture capitalists, and how they evaluate translational value of scientific opportunities. By the end of the session, you’ll have a clearer grasp of the framework needed to transition an idea or mechanism discovered in the lab to an investment phase.

The Feindel Brain and Mind Seminar Series will advance the vision of Dr. William Feindel (1918–2014), Former Director of the Neuro (1972–1984), to constantly bridge the clinical and research realms. The talks will highlight the latest advances and discoveries in neuropsychology, cognitive neuroscience, and neuroimaging.
