Driving Innovation Forward, March 2015

At the Center for Technology Transfer and Commercialization (CTTC), we get to work with doctors, surgeons, scientists, psychologists, engineers, programmers, teachers and students on their new ideas. We work with lawyers, ethics committees, alumni and foundation leaders to develop strategies for protecting and developing these concepts. We work with entrepreneurs, management teams, community advisors, investment firms, accelerators, and companies small and large on commercializing these innovations. We work with Vanderbilt leadership to make sure our efforts are positively contributing to the mission of the university, and we work with local and regional community leaders to ensure these activities impact local economic growth.
