“The sciVelo team was invaluable in refining my pitch presentation and in articulating my research to be well-understood by a broader audience. Their coaching was crucial in receiving a first-place PInCh award, worth $100,000 in research funding. In the ensuing six months, sciVelo members, Danielle [Minteer] and Megan [Breski] have been extremely approachable, available, and have helped me assemble methods to feature my research findings and to identify further sources of translational research funding within the University.”

“Paul (Petrovitch), Kevin (Mendelsohn) and Philip (Brooks) of the Innovation Institute, along with Hank (Safferstein) of Pittsburgh Life Sciences Greenhouse, have been instrumental in coaching and furthering my education in my commercialization efforts, constantly guiding me in defining goals and a path to achieving them.” “I recommend any clinical-scientist venturing into the world of entrepreneurship to contact CTSI and sciVelo early and utilize these resources fully.sciVelo is an invaluable window into the intersection of science and business where most physician-scientists are not familiar and find it daunting to navigate.
Further, the sciVelo team was incredibly helpful at helping me connect with the later-stage commercialization resources at Pitt, such as the Innovation Institute. We truly have a strategic and sensible continuum of academic medical commercial translation support at Pitt that’s working.”
