Medical research to combat disease is now a global effort and one that now requires an international technology transfer effort to see that new discoveries from research are effectively developed and commercialized to reach patients. While the United States in general, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in particular, have long led the way in effective biomedical technology transfer, such is not the case with new or younger transfer programs at research institutions outside the US, especially those in emerging and middle-income countries.
