We are actively scouting for the latest and most promising technologies in life sciences. This involves staying abreast of emerging trends (through papers, patents, technology incubators, etc), attending relevant conferences, and networking with industry leaders to identify cutting-edge innovations.

Once potential technologies are identified, we conduct a thorough landscaping analysis to evaluate their applicability, maturity, and potential impact on our scientific endeavors. This step includes a detailed assessment of market trends, competitive positioning, and technological readiness levels.

Our team provides comprehensive support to scientists by assisting with the de-risking of technologies either directly in the lab or through project management. This collaboration ensures that scientists have the necessary resources, expertise, and guidance to integrate new technologies into their research projects effectively.

Disseminate

Text

After successful de-risking, we facilitate the dissemination of these advanced technologies throughout our institute. This is achieved via core facilities, where the technologies are made accessible for wider use, and through detailed technical reports that document the methodologies and outcomes for future reference and replication.

Technologies are crucial in advancing research. The Tech Watch Core is committed to assist you in identifying, evaluating, and implementing the most novel innovations.
