D2R is deeply committed to fostering Indigenous leadership within the realms of genomic medicine, RNA therapeutics and health inequities. We believe research is strongest when it is guided by respect, collaboration and trust. Our approach both respects and relies on Indigenous governance structures and ethics to guide project development, data management, and dissemination of results, ensuring outcomes are beneficial and aligned with the priorities of Indigenous communities.
Every year, billions of dollars are invested by funding agencies in basic and translational research, yet the path from academic discovery to private investment necessary for the creation of new companies is rarely straightforward. In this seminar, you鈥檒l get an inside look at how investors work, what makes a research idea stand out to venture capitalists, and how they evaluate translational value of scientific opportunities. By the end of the session, you鈥檒l have a clearer grasp of the framework needed to transition an idea or mechanism discovered in the lab to an investment phase.
