Technology Transfer Officer

Overview

Catarina Cunha Santos is a Technology Transfer Officer with more than 11 years of experience in drug discovery and development research. After receiving her PhD degree in Pharmaceutical Biotechnology from Lisbon University, CCS joined Prof Adrian Thrasher’s team in the prestigious GOS Institute of Child Health, University College London, a laboratory with expertise in clinical and translational research in gene and cell therapies. In 2019, she joined the Center for Neuroscience and Cell Biology to establish a Technology Transfer Office with a focus on the valorisation of biotechnological products applied to healthcare. Here, she is mainly responsible for assisting and advising researchers regarding Intellectual Property and commercial valorisation of the technologies developed at the institute. CCS is also responsible for educating and raising awareness in the areas of innovation and entrepreneurship. Recently, she started to do research on licensing of healthcare technologies from R&D Centres.
