BUSINESS PLANNING & TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT

Emory University's Woodruff Health Sciences Center (Atlanta) in January announced that it is establishing the Emory Center for Device Innovation (CDI), a new initiative that will prepare medical technology projects for outside investment, product development, and commercialization.

Emory reports the center will also guide promising projects through the proof-of-concept stage of development, as well as help Emory faculty protect their ideas as patentable intellectual property.
