Corporate Opportunities

Academic/corporate collaborations allow both partners to be involved in all aspects of the research life cycle, from basic discoveries to bringing a solution to market. In Corporate Relations at Feinberg, Jeff Masters works with companies to thoroughly understand their research goals, and matches them to those of the appropriate faculty members or work here at Northwestern. Our service offers a single point of contact with both a comprehensive knowledge of the work being done at the medical school and industry experience that knows what it takes for companies to move forward.

Successful corporate partnerships with Feinberg may include:

  • Clinical trials
  • Translational research
  • Big Data Analytics (including the Northwestern Medicine Enterprise Data Warehouse)
  • Leveraging Feinberg’s basic science research capacity for new target identification and validation in addition to pathway analysis
  • Co-localization of industry scientists in Feinberg’s campus laboratories
  • Licensing of intellectual property by faculty
  • Healthcare delivery improvements
