Some numbers on commercializing research from academic institutions.

The University of Washington's TechTransfer program, which assists in the commercialization of academic research, released new data for fiscal year 2006 that indicates that more UW innovations may see the light of day. It said that invention disclosures from the UW came in at 310, a 16 percent increase over the previous fiscal year. Meanwhile, licensing agreements increased 40 percent to 153. And ten new startup companies based on UW research got going. (Pavia Systems, Seredigm, Advanced Electroluminescent Systems, Focused Scientific, High Grade Technology, Mirabilis Medica, Project Implicit, Promentix, Retinagenix and VP Diagnostics).

A position is open in the Columbia Tech Transfer office here.
