Background:
The nature of nanotechnology and its applications creates significant technology transfer challenges for public sector research organizations.  These challenges may find parallels in other sectors, and some may be unique to this field.  Keith Gilchrist of NRC’s National Institute for Nanotechnology at the University of Alberta overviews the challenges and strategies related to research collaborations and protecting, evaluating and licensing nanotechnology.

Keith Gilchrist is a Business Development Officer with NRC’s National Institute for Nanotechnology.  A longtime member of LES, and for many years involved with the Edmonton and Calgary chapters, Keith previously directed the intellectual property function for Global Thermoelectric, and was a licensing manager with University Technologies International Inc. at the University of Calgary.  He holds an MBA from the University of Calgary and a Master of Laws from Osgoode Hall.
