Several recurring themes were touched upon by speakers and panelists at the Dean’s Symposium on Innovation and Entrepreneurship on Dec 18. As Dr. Krystyn J. Van Vliet, Vice President for Research and Innovation at Cornell University, pointed out, Weill Cornell Medicine innovators are highly motivated by their patients to improve how things are done. Innovators may have different paths to commercialization or entrepreneurship, but innovation requires a lot of conversation and collaboration among them across Cornell University.  A lot still needs to be innovated for women’s health. Tamatha Fenster MD, MS., Bobak Mosadegh Ph.D. and Rache Simmons MD MS MBA, all agreed that patients are the most important stakeholders when deciding what to pursue as invention/innovation. Each panelist introduced their women’s health innovation and shared their experience in the process. The panel believed physicians should be brave enough to move away from standard procedures as well as network with experts in engineering and business. The people connection is what transforms an innovative idea from conversation to prototype and ultimately, a product in the market that serves the patients’ needs. Clinicians possess the unique advantage of knowing health care pain points and seeing first-hand the problems patients and nurses have. However, they also face the unique challenge of lacking dedicated time to develop solutions and marketing and administrative supports along the way. All panelists of the “Beyond Therapeutics” innovation discussion, Drs. Keith Hentel, Denise Howard, Conor Liston and Rahul Sharma, MD, MBA, FACEP, discovered a clinical pain point in their field. They resolved that with innovation in the form of appropriate use criteria in imaging, a pre-op patient education and counseling app, psychological evaluation and telemedicine tools. For them, being a clinician-innovator means thinking out of the box, persistence, team work among colleagues and using available Cornell assets to pressure test innovation.  

Two Cornell University professors have been elected to the National Academy of Inventors' 2024 class for innovations they've developed through their research 🙌 🍎 Herb Aldwinckle, a professor emeritus of plant pathology and plant-microbe biology in the Cornell University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, researches disease management in plants and strengthening plant varieties through hybridization. 🥼 Ulrich Wiesner, the Cornell Engineering Spencer T. Olin Professor, creates multifunctional nanomaterials with applications in cancer therapeutics, virus filtration, and more.
