Meet UNeMed’s Innovation Ambassadors, an elite group of University leaders and experienced faculty inventors empowered to act as mentors to colleagues unfamiliar or skeptical of the technology transfer and commercialization process. UNeMed created the Innovation Ambassador program to also advocate for the services, benefits, usefulness, necessity and professionalism of the University’s technology transfer and commercialization office.
