• That companies, entrepreneurs, and other buy-side stakeholders – not just academia – can partner with the NIH
• Why industry partnerships are mutually beneficial for companies and the NIH
• How companies have worked with the NIH (success stories and partnership examples)

About Dr. Michael Salgaller

Dr. Michael Salgaller leads the Technology Analysis and Marketing Unit (TAMU) within the National Institutes of Health (NIH’s) Technology Transfer Center, where he leverages over 20 years of business, scientific, and investment experience in various life science sectors to support technology development and commercialization. The TAMU serves in a business development role to foster licensing and collaborative activity between buy-side stakeholders and the NCI (as well as NIH in general). Immediately prior to returning to the NCI, Michael was a Vice President with a healthcare-focused government affairs firm, where he led alliance development activities centered on civilian health. Michael spent several years on the investment team of an early-stage venture capital firm dedicated to the life sciences. He began his career as a Senior Scientist at the NCI. He is the author of “Biotechnology Entrepreneurship,” and teaches an entrepreneurship class at NIH. Dr. Salgaller received his PhD in Pathology from The Ohio State University.
