Product Description
Successful product design and development requires the ability to take a concept and translate the technology into useful, patentable, commercial products. This book guides the reader through the practical aspects of the commercialization process of drug, diagnostic and device biomedical technology including market analysis, product development, intellectual property and regulatory constraints. Key issues are highlighted at each stage in the process, and case studies are used to provide practical examples. The book will provide a sound road map for those involved in the biotechnology industry to effectively plan the commercialization of profitable regulated medical products. It will also be suitable for a capstone design course in engineering and biotechnology, providing the student with the business acumen skills involved in product development.

Book Description
An indispensable guide for professionals, entrepreneurs and students in biomedical technology development, teaching how to translate technology into useful patentable inventions and commercial products. Guiding the reader through the practical aspects of the commercialization process, it is an ideal accompaniment to a capstone design course in engineering and biotechnology.

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding overview of the complexities of commercialization   October 28, 2009

5 out of 5 found this review helpful

I am using this text in a commercializing biomaterials course and highly recommend it to graduate students and post-docs who want to enter the world of start-up biotechnology. I think it would also be very helpful to junior faculty who are thinking about commercializing their research. It is brilliantly constructed to walk you through the basics of taking your research from the bench to bedside and the challenges you are going to face along the way. I also found the author's use of vignettes and specific examples very helpful to illustrate complex points. This book won't write your business plan for you but should help you do your market analysis and give you the questions to ask when you initiate disclosures to your university's Technology Transfer office. Highly recommended.
