Who's Who?
Invention Commercialization Based on IOCB Tech Analysis
How to continue development
In principle, there are three possibilities by which IOCB Tech can help you:- Establishing a SWAT team
- Taking advantage of the PharmTheon translational center
- Continuing via a spin-off company.
ad a) SWAT teams
SWAT teams are based within existing research or research-service groups to develop the application potential of a method or discovery made in that group.
IOCB fully funds these projects with respect to materials and the salaries of the SWAT team members working on the project. SWAT teams typically do not require
additional lab space. Their existence is usually planned for a period of two to three years, with the goal of exploring the possibility of transforming a discovery
into a patented invention, which may be further developed toward commercialization. If you would like to set up a SWAT team, please contact us at IOCB Tech, and we
will help you to prepare a plan and budget and will then apply with the director for financial support.
ad b) PharmTheon
The PharmTheon translational center was established in 2024 as an integral part of IOCB Tech. PharmTheon has organic synthesis labs as well as biological labs
and is prepared to work on the development of a project from identification of first hits on high throughput screening towards the lead structure and pre-IND
(Investigational New Drug) phase of development.
ad c) Spin-off companies
ZAnother possibility for developing a project outside academia is to establish a spin-off company. We will help you with the preparation of the company and
business plan and can even help you find investors. Again, come talk to us.
