Notice Information

Notice Title

(NU/1433-40) Transdermal Drug Delivery: The Provision of Business Consultancy to Assist Commercialisation of University Research.

Notice Description

The Northumbria University team have developed a new technology to move drugs into the body from a layer in a patch stuck to the skin. This is an alternative to using needles. Current drug delivery patches don't work for a large proportion of drugs because of their chemistry characteristics mean they don't absorb through skin well. This technology can move 'difficult' molecules through the skin. The initial brief of the executive will be to: (1) Produce a viable 5 year business plan; (2) Obtain university approval for the venture; a. Act for the company in the spin-out legal process and address all company formation matters; b. Provide to the appropriate university all matters necessary for Research England reporting requirements; (3) Secure a Medical Device Manufacturer partnership (4) Engage with investors in securing funding
