Mandate and remit

What This Program Does

The Office of Translational Research, Innovation, and Technology Transfer supports Albany Medical College inventors in moving biomedical discoveries toward commercialization. It provides intellectual property protection, licensing support, commercialization guidance and prototyping assistance, manages the institution's IP portfolio, and connects inventors with accelerators, funders and regional partners across New York's Capital Region. The office runs the Capital Region Bioinnovation Bootcamp, a co-hosted educational program covering IP, FDA regulation, funding and market strategy that ends in a pitch competition, and a Clinical Immersion Program in which students shadow clinicians to identify innovation opportunities that are developed into proof-of-concept ventures. It also hosts the annual Capital Region Bioinnovation Forum and internal seminars. Companies engage by licensing technologies from the office's portfolio, which spans biological agents, medical methods, medical technologies, research tools and vaccine platforms; inventors receive 40 percent of royalties from commercialized technologies.
