Technology Commercialization Services:
Background:
Robert Fisher, MD, MSPH is serving in
his third term on the Board of the
Science and Technology Corporation@UNM(STC.UNM).
He has served with its three CEOs and
three board chairs.
He maintains his continuing
commitment to the development of the
Science and Technology Corporation at
the University of New Mexico to increase
disclosures of IP, the number of patents
and licensing agreements and build its
rich portfolio of intellectual property.
He has contributed to building an
organization that has gone from its
early startup efforts to generating a
solid presence with the University of
New Mexico’s faculty and becoming a
leader amongst its peer organizations
nationally.
”Robert’s leadership and insight
have played a key role in the
success of STC. In particular, his
knowledge of organizational dynamics
and networking have helped STC
further its mission with the
expansion of contacts worldwide.”
Intellectual Property Life Cycle
Management:
My work in the area of IP
commercialization includes patent and
licensing and work to assist technology
startups. As a three term member of the
board of the Science and Technology
Corporation @UNM my responsibilities
have ranged from faculty inventor
relations, community relations and
marketing, global outreach,
organizational development, leadership
development, negotiations and conflict
resolution and program development.
This
has provided me with experience and
tools to work with startups, decision
making on creating new business,
leadership selection and development,
organizational design and investor and
board relations.
I offer
this range of services to new and
existing businesses across multiple
verticals in technology, health
sciences, medical device, biologic
science and pharma. I also provide
consultation to leadership of existing
technology transfer and development
programs in the public and corporate,
for profit and non profit sectors.
Strategic Alliance:
In my work in technology
commercialization, patent and licensing, portfolio development
and portfolio evaluation I maintain a longstanding strategic
alliance with Dr. Peter Perna and his organization, Alpine
Strategy of Durango, Colorado. Dr. Perna has been the head
of two university technology transfer programs and has deep
scientific, commercialization, market assessment and business
development background. He maintains a keen focus on the
resources of the Department of Defense funding and RFP
processes as well as his broad reach to major university
intellectual property portfolios and development in the for
profit business sector.
Our longstanding work together
blends the technical, organizational and leadership arms that
are critical to entire intellectual property lifecycle from
development, patent, license through creating companies, running
them effectively and profitably to exit strategies and sales.
