MAR TECH TRANSFER ACADEMY: When your best Cell paper does not drive enthusiastic investment: the solution-looking-for-a-problem all time classic

Ramon y Cajal room at 4pm

The Technology Transfer and Translation Unit of the HMRIB is launching the MAR Tech Transfer Academy, a program designed to provide research and clinical staff with practical case studies delivered by professionals from the innovation ecosystem who have firsthand experience in technology transfer. The goal is to equip participants with the tools needed to turn research discoveries into tangible solutions for society, helping to bring research from the laboratory to the market.

Through interactive sessions with industry experts and research-based entrepreneurs, we will explore key aspects of technology transfer, intellectual property, clinical development, and commercialization strategies, as well as the challenges encountered and how they were addressed.

This second session will take place on February 17th at 4:00 pm, in the framework of the Barcelona Health Innovation Week 2026 and is entitled "When your best Cell paper does not drive enthusiastic investment: the solution-looking-for-a-problem all time classic", delivered by Luis Ruiz Avila, CEO of Leukos Biotech and ecosystem member. The session will be moderated by Ismael Ávila, Head of the Technology Transfer and Translation Unit at HMRIB, and Pablo Villoslada, Director of the Neurosciences Program also at HMRIB. The session will present the experience of Luis Ruiz, an ecosystem member who has raised significant amounts of public and private funding and has helped advance basic science to the clinical stage multiple times.

This session is essential for those who wish to master the preparation of project proposals from a technology transfer perspective, with a focus on project valorization and their translation to patients.

Those wishing to attend must register using this link.

This program will be free of charge for staff from HMRIB, Hospital del Mar, PRBB centers, collaborating centers, and affiliated centers of the Hospital del Mar node within the ITEMAS network. For external attendees, this session will be also free of charge, as it is being held within the framework of the Barcelona Health Innovation Week.
