My dissertation proposal, entitled The Academic Entrepreneur: The Relationship Between Entrepreneurship Education and the Entrepreneurial Alertness and Opportunity Identification of Academic Faculty, examines the commercialization education programs that I provide at the University of Michigan Medical School and the resulting entrepreneurial activities of faculty. As a demonstration of expertise and ability to conduct this study, I present four published articles that I have authored that relate to entrepreneurship education for life science academicians.
This article details the development and outcomes of the first cohort of the Early Tech Development Course (now called fastPACE), a 4-week hybrid program intended to teach the basics of life science technology commercialization. The article was published in the Journal of Academic Medicine.
This article details a train-the-trainer program for the fastPACE course that has trained more than 50% of National Clinical & Transnational Science awarded institutions by the National Institutes of Health.
This article describes the development and outcomes of a unique collaboration with the UM Department of Surgery that is focused on the education, development, and funding of life science innovations.
This articles describes a one-of-a-kind department faculty development program focused on innovation for the department of ophthalmology and visual sciences at the UM.
