Support our mission by protecting innovative research through effective IP strategy and collaboration

Welcome to the Intellectual Property Virtual Experience Programme! We are thrilled to have you here.

We are a self-funded, non-profit medical research organisation focused on advancing early science into health solutions for patients. We partner with scientists, clinicians, and industry experts to translate promising discoveries into medical breakthroughs, particularly in areas of unmet need. Our work spans translational science, technology transfer, and strategic partnerships that accelerate innovation while keeping patient impact in mind.

During this programme, you will get the opportunity to step into the shoes of a technology transfer associate and complete tasks that replicate the work that our team does every day. You’ll learn key skills in IP risk identification, agreement analysis, stakeholder communication, and internal IP management.

We hope this programme provides a great resource for you to upskill and strengthen your resume as you explore career options and a potential career with us.
