Steve VanNurden, MBA, wants CU Innovations to be known for one thing: how well it helps translate ideas from idealism into action. It’s a statement borrowed from Charlie Mayo, a founder of Mayo Clinic, where VanNurden began his career in innovation 34 years ago.

Last year CU Innovations’ activities resulted in 145 invention disclosures, 189 patents filed, 41 licensing deals, $375MM of startup financing, and $35MM of gross revenue to the University of Colorado campus having a significant economic impact both in Colorado and nationwide.

Becoming a successful innovator and entrepreneur can be a daunting and difficult process, which is why the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus has developed extensive resources to help its researchers find success in developing novel ways to help others. With hopes of inspiring faculty and offering tangible advice, the CU Department of Medicine highlighted these resources during its latest Research Achievement Highlights (REACH) forum through presentations by two experts: V. Michael Holers, MD, and Gali Baler, PhD.
