  abstract  = {This paper discusses the motivation for entrepreneurship in academia and for forging a relationship between an academic laboratory and a startup. University based personnel, faculty and students, priorities basic bench research. On the other side, industry, particularly startups, prioritize technology development for clinical and commercial translation. The paper presents personal experience as a case study. University based researchers, faculty and students, might participate in and benefit from such an entrepreneurial activity. A University spin off would facilitate translational of bench research ideas and results to technologies for bedside use. Attention to issues such as conflict of interest and concern and ethics of working with human subjects need to be managed by the investigators and the institution. While entrepreneurial activity is not for everyone, it does provide the benefit and satisfaction to see research reach practice.},

  review    = {Mission of the University is to the focus on education and research (knowledge creation and dissemination), generating new ideas experimental results, theories and technology, but are typically limited to laboratory settings, and released in the form of publications. 

Mission of Biomedical industries is to produce products for clinical use and commercial benefit. Needs innovative ideas, IP and implementation of technology to serve real needs, and hopefully gain clinical adoption and commercial success. 

The paper then goes on and talks about things to keep in mind, like conflict of interest, resource allocation (using University resources to work on a government...ie NIH, NSERC, etc, funded project). Anyways, it�s hard. 

Conclusion: Bench to bedside is a worthy endeavor for academicians. The process takes one�s work from laboratory to the patient, and helps one see the fruits of discoveries and inventions translate into products with clinical and commercial utility. Attention should be paid to the conflict of interest and other ethical practices and institutional policies. Successful execution of either profession, being an academic researcher or an entrepreneur, requires intense dedication and commitment to excellence and the will and desire to succeed and make an impact.},
