Alasdair Street, Business Development Manager
Alasdair joined Research & Enterprise in January 2000, as a Commercialisation Manager with special responsibilities to provide support for the Faculty of Biomedical and Life Sciences. This role has now broadened, and as a Business Development Manager he is focused on maximising return for various project types by the careful management of the University's IP assets. This can include engaging with academics to review IP disclosures and the selection of the most appropriate strategy for protecting and marketing these, to negotiating industrially sponsored contract research, or the negotiation of commercial licence deals, or the creation of sustainable spinout companies.
He combines both relevant business training and life science research experience, having successfully completed a full time MSc in Technology Management at Stirling University; prior to this he had worked extensively in life science research, in several world class laboratories on both sides of the Atlantic. Additionally he has a BSc degree from the University of Strathclyde, and a PhD from the University of London, both in Biochemistry.
