COLUMBIA-COULTERTRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH PARTNERSHIP

Accelerating Biomedical Innovation @ Columbia

www.bme.columbia.edu/[email protected]

Agenda

• About the Partnership & Our Mission• The Coulter Process & Program Offering• Application Overview

About the Partnership

• Launched in 2011 with generous support from the             Wallace H. Coulter Foundation.

• Led by the Department of Biomedical Engineering, in collaboration with the Departments of Surgery, OrthopaedicSurgery and Radiology, and Columbia Technology Ventures, Columbia’s technology transfer office.

Our Mission

• To position promising biomedical technologies so that they are more attractive to commercial partners who will commit the necessary investment to develop solutions that improve patient outcomes and address underserved healthcare needs.

Proven Accelerator Model

• Since 2005, the Coulter Foundation has partnered with 16 universities to implement the Coulter Process for biomedical technology development, funding more than 200 translational research projects across the nation.

• Roughly 1 in 3 of the projects have resulted in licenses to established companies and/or professionally financed new ventures, altogether raising more than $350M in follow‐on funding.

Agenda

• About the Partnership & Our Mission• The Coulter Process & Program Offering• Application Overview

The Coulter Process

• The Coulter Process involves:– Working closely with intellectual property counsel to track the 

evolution of the design and development of your technology– Applying business resources to bring downstream product 

development considerations, upstream– Funding to perform specific, determinative “killer” experiments to get 

to human studies (as required) and to patients as quickly as possible– Executing projects in a managed process with measurable outcomes 

that will enable a go/no‐go decision by commercial partners– Adapting to new information that may take you down a path to a 

different application or technical approach or, even, to quit while you’re ahead

What the Coulter Program Offers

Objective • Accelerating biomedical innovation  from idea to market

Funding

• Additional $300K worth of in‐kind resources• Intellectual property evaluation and filing• Access to specialized expertise (regulatory, reimbursement)• Access to commercialization advisors (entrepreneurs, industry vets) • Technology marketing and partnering (companies, investors)• Legal agreement transactions (CDAs, MTAs, SRAs, SPAs, IIAs, licenses)• Assistance with SBIR/STTR grants for follow‐on‐funding• Introductions to start‐up resources (space, service providers, mentors)

Non-MonetarySupport

• Up to $700K per year of direct project funding• No set # of projects and no set budget per project• Tranched funding to support technical proof‐of‐concept (payments 

based on meeting certain milestones)

Your Project Must:

• Focus on an unmet clinical need.• Answer critical questions necessary to inform a commercial go/no go decision.• Have a reasonable chance of reaching the market in less than 10 years.• Be based on an idea or invention based on Columbia intellectual property.

Your Team Must:

• Be comprised of an engineer and a clinician, at least one of which must have a faculty appointment at Columbia.

• Be open to receiving mentorship, coaching, and external oversight.• Be committed to translating research results into practical clinical application.• Meet regularly with project managers and report to the Board on progress 

towards technical and business milestones.• Be willing to kill a project, if the data and the market point to a non‐viable 

solution.
