Innovation Ventures is dedicated to helping the UCSF community navigate the complexities of translational technology development and commercialization by working up-close with our research faculty and promising students to really understand their science. It has a single purpose and that is to support the transition of UCSF innovation out of the lab and into the marketplace as more fully developed therapies, with a greater confidence of success. Whether evaluating a new discovery, securing funding, seeking external partnerships, or starting new companies, facilitates protection, development, and commercialization of novel and valuable healing inventions. The Catalyst Program is one of five programs in Innovation Ventures serving as UCSF’s translational accelerator focused on advancing UCSF discoveries with clinical impact and commercial potential.
