Hospital Community

Business Development Overview

Business Development within TIDO connects Children's Hospital investigators with outside industry to create opportunities for partnerships at all stages of research, development, and pre-clinical and clinical investigation.

Working closely with Children's Hospital investigators and our corporate partners, we strive to understand the needs and goals of each party, connecting groups with similar R&D objectives and complementary resources.

The Business Development group:

• Generates profiles of research and researchers at Children's Hospital that outline recent and ongoing work, future goals and potential areas of collaboration with industry.
• Proactively meet with biotechnology, pharmaceutical, device, informatics and diagnostic companies to understand their R&D areas of interest and goals.
• Provides preliminary information reciprocally to Children's Hospital researchers and corporate parties enabling further evaluation for a potential collaboration.
• Coordinates scientific meetings for companies with individual/multiple investigators or entire departments for both sides to explore collaborative projects.

If you are a Children's Hospital investigator or a company representative with a research project that could benefit from a partner, please contact Nurjana Bachman at Nurjana.bachman@childrens.harvard.edu to discuss how TIDO can help.
