Concentration Areas
ï‚— Important that you expose and go outside of your
 regular familiarity to be able to work out there as
 a biomedical engineer!
  ï‚— Take myself for example
    ï‚— Cell and Tissue Engineer but really work as a clinical
      engineer for my master’s degree
      ï‚— This takes more than just C&T
        o Computer Programming
        o Imaging
        o Bioinstrumentation
        o Biomaterials
        o Entrepreneur/Industrial coursework
        o Neural networks (for image processing purposes)
How would you define your career?
ï‚— BEING CREATIVE!
Intellectual Property [IP]
A snapshot into the world of IP
What is it?
ï‚— Establishing recognizable rights to any creation
  by an individual
ï‚— Consists of the following:
  ï‚— Patents
  ï‚— Trademarks
  ï‚— Copyrights
  ï‚— Trade Secrets
Why should you do it as a BME?
ï‚— Provides awareness and exposure to emerging
  start-up technologies and/or companies which
  deal with biomedical engineering
ï‚— Gains insight and experience of using appropriate
  problem-solving and assessing skills as a
  biomedical engineer to determine usefulness,
  novelty and/or obviousness of a disclosed
  technology
ï‚— Example - http://otm.uic.edu/technologies/early-
  extraction-fetal-heart-sounds
What would HR look for an IP applicant?
ï‚— Skills in the following:
  ï‚— Literature search
  ï‚— Patent Searching
  ï‚— Good scientific/engineering background
    ï‚— Its not just about the good grades and coursework exposure
       ï‚— Go out there and get your feet wet with experience!
    ï‚— Problem solver, being analytical
    ï‚— Technical Writing
       ï‚— Depends on how far you choose to go!
    ï‚— Tech-savvy
  ï‚— An understanding of how the medical industry
    works
My job at OTM
 As a Technology Commercialization Analyst, I….
  ï‚— Screening disclosed inventions for potential
    opportunity and assessment through the review
    of current work in the field
  ï‚— In parallel of the review, interviews are
    conducted by the Tech. Manager with the
    inventor and team
  ï‚— A cumulative assessed report is produced by
    the screener (me) to provide for my Manager to
    present for the OTM team
  ï‚— Additional Projects
    ï‚— Marketing
    ï‚— Faculty Outreach
