Isaac Kohlberg,
Mr. Kohlberg, formerly Chief Executive Officer of the Tel Aviv
University Economic Corporation and CEO of its technology transfer
organization, oversees the development of new inventions and technologies
arising from research at Harvard. The Office of Technology Development (OTD)
elicits and evaluates new inventions and discoveries made by the faculty, and
determines whether to pursue patent protection on behalf of the University. In
keeping with Harvard's mission to serve the public good, OTD strives to make
these new technologies widely available to society by transferring them to
industry for development and real world application. Companies seek to acquire
rights to promising new inventions made at Harvard in order to develop them
into new products, such as biopharmaceuticals, medical devices and advanced
research materials which, it is hoped, will one day be available on the market,
thereby contributing to society through the advancement of science, medicine
and industry. Licenses include a financial consideration for the University
which, in turn, helps support the expense of patenting future inventions, as
well as of ongoing research and academic endeavors at Harvard. Thus, OTD serves
to protect new discoveries made by Harvards research enterprise while
simultaneously helping to make additional research possible, often resulting in
direct or indirect benefit to the public at large.
