From a Biophysics Chalkboard to a Business Boardroom: Converting Biophysics and Biochemistry into a Business is focused on the theme of biochemistry/biophysics and how to translate basic biophysics science into applied research leading to innovations, but also to failures. A key factor of the book is how these processes occur at the individual and institutional level. The book describes basic biochemistry, how this translates into applied research, and then, moving on, how it can evolve into a viable business and the associated challenges.
- Fills an information gap on the lack of knowledge in a book format on how to translate science into business, from biochemistry/biophysics scientific questions to intellectual property questions, to being an entrepreneur and making a science-based business to start, grow, and thrive
- Discusses the challenges, timeframes, and needs of capital and qualified human investment in this field
- Covers the development of methods and technologies in biochemistry and biophysics, which is still in its relatively infancy
