- Contribute to the entrepreneurship knowledge of faculty and students by addressing various topics relevant to spinoffs, such as intellectual property protection, becoming an entrepreneur, financing models, and how to pitch to investors.
- Design, draft, review and negotiate agreements and legal documents, such as inter-institutional agreements, Confidential Disclosure Agreements (CDAs), Material Transfer Agreements (MTAs), options and licenses for D2R inventions.
