Emory UniversityThe goal of CTSAs across the nation is to “get more treatments to more patients more quickly”1. One effective pathway to reach patients is via commercializing biomedical innovations. However, within an academic environment, researchers often do not have access to or experience with building the skills necessary to take an innovation to market. Hence, the Georgia CTSA opted to create a unique
