Hello and welcome to Inside cancer careers a podcast from the National Cancer Institute. I'm your host, Oliver Bogler. I work at the NCI in the Center for Cancer Training. On Inside Cancer Careers we explore all the different ways that people join the fight against disease and hear their stories. Today we're talking about tech transfer. Listen through to the end of the show to hear our guests make some interesting recommendations and where we invite you to take your turn.
Scientific discovery has inherent value in advancing knowledge and understanding, often represented in scientific papers, sometimes in scientific textbooks, and in rare instances in popular books. But in order for it to have an effect on the broader society, discoveries are launched out of academia into the private sector, where they form the basis of new products that can be offered broadly, to meet the needs of the people who can benefit from them. An important early step in this path is technology transfer, itself a body of knowledge and skills. Today, we're speaking with experts in this area, and are going to hear about programs that were created to help anyone interested in such work learn about it. With me in this first segment, our two colleagues from NCI’s Technology Transfer Center. Dr. Laura Prestia, Senior Innovation Manager.
Laura Prestia
Hello.
Oliver Bogler
And Dr. Laurie Whitney, Supervisory Technology Transfer Manager.
Laurie Whitney
Hello there.
Oliver Bogler
Welcome to you both. So let's start with the fundamentals. What is technology transfer? And why is it important in today's cancer research and innovation landscape?
Laura Prestia
So I'll take this one, this is Laura. So tech transfer is the transfer of knowledge, data, information from one organization to another, and it can involve collaborations and managing the agreements between those two collaborators. It can involve patenting and protecting new discoveries,
