From Lab Discovery to Market Impact—Know What It Really Takes

Academic research is a powerful source of innovation, but turning a discovery into a real-world product is a complex process. From Lab to Launch gives scientists, inventors, and innovators a clear, candid look at how to navigate that path.

Davis Farmer draws on decades of experience in biotech startups, licensing, and global dealmaking to help researchers understand what to expect when science meets business.

You’ll learn:

How to approach invention disclosure and intellectual property
What tech transfer offices actually do, and how to work with them
When it makes sense to launch a company, and how to build one that lasts
Why most startups fail, and how to avoid common traps
What role you should play in the process, and how to choose wisely

Whether you're licensing an invention, starting a venture, or advising someone who is, this guide brings clarity to a high-stakes journey.
