Academic Entrepreneurship
How to Bring Your Scientific Discovery to a Successful Commercial Product
Michele Marcolongo
• Addresses a growing trend of academic faculty commercializing their discoveries, especially those
supported by the National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health
• Offers faculty a pathway and easy-to-follow steps towards determining whether their discovery / idea /
technology is viable from a business perspective, as well as how to execute the necessary steps to
create a new start-up company
• Has a light-hearted and accessible style of a step-by-step guide to help graduate students, post-docs,
and faculty learn how to go about spinning out their research from the lab
• Includes interviews by faculty in the disciplines of materials science, pharmaceuticals, medical devices,
information technology, energy, and mechanical devices — offering tips and discussing potential pitfalls to be avoided
• Provides interviews with investors, heads of tech transfer offices, incubators, economic development organizations, proof-ofconcept
centers, and attorneys in the academic entrepreneurship ecosystem

Adhesion in Pharmaceutical, Biomedical and Dental Fields
Edited by K. L. Mittal & F. M. Etzler
The only book to cover adhesion in pharmaceutical, biomedical and dental fields
The phenomenon of adhesion is of cardinal importance in the pharmaceutical, biomedical and dental fields.
A few eclectic examples will suffice to underscore the importance/relevance of adhesion in these three
areas. For example, the adhesion between powdered solids is of crucial importance in tablet manufacture.
The interaction between biodevices (e.g., stents, bio-implants) and body environment dictates the
performance of such devices, and there is burgeoning research activity in modifying the surfaces of such
implements to render them compatible with bodily components. In the field of dentistry, the modern trend is
to shift from retaining of restorative materials by mechanical interlocking to adhesive bonding.
The topics covered include: Theories or mechanisms of adhesion; wettability of powders; role of surface free
energy in tablet strength and powder flow behavior; mucoadhesive polymers for drug delivery systems;
transdermal patches; skin adhesion in long-wear cosmetics; factors affecting microbial adhesion; biofouling
and ways to mitigate it; adhesion of coatings on surgical tools and bio-implants; adhesion in fabrication of
microarrays in clinical diagnostics; antibacterial polymers for dental adhesives and composites; evolution of
dental adhesives; and testing of dental adhesive joints.

Analytical Characterization of Biotherapeutics
Jennie R. Lill & Wendy Sandoval
The definitive guide to the myriad analytical techniques available to scientists involved in
biotherapeutics research
Analytical Characterization of Biotherapeutics covers all current and emerging analytical tools and
techniques used for the characterization of therapeutic proteins and antigen reagents. From basic
recombinant antigen and antibody characterization, to complex analyses for increasingly complex molecular
designs, the book explores the history of the analysis techniques and offers valuable insights into the most
important emerging analytical solutions. In addition, it frames critical questions warranting attention in the
design and delivery of a therapeutic protein, exposes analytical challenges that may occur when
characterizing these molecules, and presents a number of tested solutions.
Key topics covered in-depth include the structural characterization of recombinant proteins and antibodies,
antibody de novo sequencing, characterization of antibody drug conjugates, characterization of bi-specific or
other hybrid molecules, characterization of manufacturing host-cell contaminant proteins, analytical tools for
biologics molecular assessment, and more.
