SUMMARY:Creating a Successful Academic Spin-Out
DESCRIPTION:Live\, 90-minute event featuring 3 distinguished academics / entrepreneurs discussing their Academic Spin-Out successes\, adventures and insights. \nBill Walker describes launching four companies from within academia and from coaching dozens of academic startups. He will share the general principles he’s identified and some of the ways that academic ventures go off the rails. \nLori Arakaki shares insights and lessons from her just closed $4.6 Million in funding to develop the first cell O2 monitor for reducing organ failure as she describes Opticyte’s journey so far. \nDr. Magdy Younes draws upon his experience as a Canadian physician and researcher specializing in respirology and sleep medicine to share how an academic physician ended up being an inventor/entrepreneur? Spoiler alert: “It is not what you think”. \nEach presenter will include plenty of examples and actionable advice. \n“Fantastic presenters and very informative. Thank you.” -Attendee Feedback from previous Virtual Medical Device Playbook events. \n#MDPLAYBOOK \nTOPICS:\nBehaviors and decisions that seem to be almost universally fatal for Academic Spin-Outs \nHow do I know if I have a good idea? • Should I leave my day job? • How can I find a “good” CEO to run my venture? • Where do I go to raise money? \nRaising capital\, grant strategies\, relationship with university \nUnique struggles that co-founders who are academics can face and need to overcome

SUMMARY:Biostatistics Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:The Fred Hutch Biostatistics Program hosts seminars featuring presentations by Hutch and outside scientists to share their latest developments and recent research. Each seminar includes an hour-long presentation and discussion during which speakers showcase their work and findings. \nThis seminar will be held on Zoom due to the COVID-19 pandemic. \nLung cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide and the leading cause of cancer deaths both globally and in the United States. The National Lung Cancer Screening Trial showed annual screening by low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) reduced mortality and in 2013 the US Preventative Services Task Force recommended screening by LDCT for high-risk smokers. A predictive model for 6-year risk of lung cancer was developed using results of the Prostate\, Lung\, Colon\, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial (PLCOm2012) and put forth as selection criteria for referral to screening. The Hanash Lab at MD Anderson has established and validated a panel of four circulating protein biomarkers (4MP) for lung cancer risk assessment. In this talk\, I will describe joint work with Ziding Feng and the Hanash lab leading to a definitive validation of the 4MP using preclinical specimens from the PLCO biorepository\, highlight validation of selection criteria based on combining the 4MP with PLCOm2012\, and discuss next steps for investigating the clinical utility of a biomarker-based strategy for referral to LDCT screening.
