Lumira Venture Innovation Program – How to meet and work with investors – Aug. 31, 2022

During this session our panelists will discuss early activities that researchers should engage in to meet and work with investors in life science technologies. The Lumira Venture Innovation Program, open for PhD, MBA and MD students, will be introduced and followed by a discussion panel. You will learn from real-world examples about how to gain exposure to life science venture capital, where to start and how to work with investors to build your technology and accelerate innovation in academic settings. You will learn about what to expect from an investor and how to gain an access to investor community, professionals-in-residence, and funding. This session aims to stimulate commercial thinking during research and discovery phase for everyone interested in drug, device and platform development at UofT.

The goal of PRiME's Jump Start workshop series is to provide a comprehensive look into the essential steps involved in development of pre-clinical drugs, devices, and platform technologies. In the series we engage with experts to discuss important considerations to ensure success at each step of the development process.

These workshops are open to all Trainees and Principal Investigators at UofT.
