Research collaborations between academia and industry along the entire partnership continuum have been a cornerstone of the biotechnology industry for many years. But today, rather than serving primarily as a corridor for technology transfer, innovators on both sides of the fence are exploring new partnership models with an eye to fostering the next generation of entrepreneurs and speeding the transition from discovery to innovation.
