AI Series Part 1 | AI in University Commercialization Practices
2024-04-18 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York)
Topic: AI Series, Part 1 | AI in University Commercialization Practices
When: Thursday, April 18, 2024 | 12:00pm ET
Registration:** **Click Here
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
—————————————————
Webinar Description:
As the world of AI continues to grow, we will dive into a couple of programs that have sprouted in the Technology Transfer space to understand how AI can be used to help the process of university commercialization functions. Marc Sedam of NYU and James Zanewicz of Tulane University will join us to discuss how their institutions have adopted the use of AI.

New York University has released the TOV-AI™ prompts to the university tech transfer community with the goal of widespread adoption of AI use cases. These prompts are the result of a concerted effort to implement AI in fundamentally all back-office processes to improve efficiency and allow all TTOs to scale using technology and not headcount. The presentation will give a brief overview of the strategy behind the prompts, use cases including time and cost savings, and where TTOs can find additional revenue through improved license compliance.
Tulane Medicine was one of the first Academic Medical Centers to join The Alliance for AI In Healthcare, recognizing the importance AI was going to play in the field. In addition to covering the AAIH and Tulane’s engagement with AI from an Industry perspective, the presentation will cover ways to employ AI in Business Development, Operational and Marketing/Communications initiatives.

This webinar is open to all of OUP’s academic institution partners. The webinar will be recorded and available on YouTube within a week of the live version.

ABI is a 15-week course and training program in biomedical entrepreneurship that builds teams around patented technologies originating from Weill Cornell Medicine and neighboring institutions. Through the program’s experiential format, participants step into the shoes of startup founders and product innovators. With input from a combination of industry mentors and MBA students, the teams create business plans in the form of investor pitches. The class culminates in a final pitch event in front of VC judges.
If you are interested in participating, the inaugural ABI class will take place on Tuesday, August 27, from 5:30-7pm in Uris Auditorium. The kick-off will feature a lecture and interview with Annie De Groot, MD, Founder & CSO of EpiVax, Inc., located in Providence, RI. EpiVax specializes in computational immunology tools for epitope discovery, de-immunization, and vaccine design, and collaborates closely with the FDA on regulatory methods for generic peptide drugs. Dr. De Groot is the author of over 240 publications and 50 patents and has generated over $35M in US federal funding.
