I am using this text in a commercializing biomaterials course and highly recommend it to graduate students and post-docs who want to enter the world of start-up biotechnology. I think it would also be very helpful to junior faculty who are thinking about commercializing their research. It is brilliantly constructed to walk you through the basics of taking your research from the bench to bedside and the challenges you are going to face along the way. I also found the author's use of vignettes and specific examples very helpful to illustrate complex points. This book won't write your business plan for you but should help you do your market analysis and give you the questions to ask when you initiate disclosures to your university's Technology Transfer office. Highly recommended.

We have used this text at the University at Buffalo School of Management Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership in a program called High Tech CEL for the past two years. The program was developed to help early stage life sciences companies find a pathway to commercialization. This text is a valuable tool that takes sometimes complicated pathways and represents them in easy to understand language and diagrams that almost anyone can follow. Shreefal Mehta does a great job of distilling tons of material down into a tight compact text that can be used as both a textbook and a reference guide. Everyone involved in the life sciences industries should have one copy on their desk and couple more on their office shelves to hand out. Highly recommended!
