Meanwhile at Duke Allen Roses a former Duke professor left GlaxoSmithKline after 10 years to head up Duke s new drug discovery efforts. Roses goal is to identify drug research opportunities that the pharmaceutical industry is not pursuing and then to bring them into what is currently a virtual company. Once the new drugs are tested in animal models and humans he hopes to sell them to pharmaceutical companies that will be able to bring the drugs to market. Duke s ability to develop potential compounds will be helped by the award of one of the first clinical and translational science awards CTSAs from the National Institutes of Health a grant focused on translating basic science findings into therapies that will improve health. UPMC has taken a similar approach by entering into an agreement to join Carnegie Mellon University in developing innovative computer and software research and investment in a Carnegie Mellon spin-off that uses software to help organizations in procurement deals 32 . Using Academic Laboratories as Incubators Another approach to commercializing discoveries has been to use academic laboratories as incubator facilities to pursue industry-sponsored research. Several universities have developed free-standing research institutes or foundations to separate research activities that are industry related. These include the Draper and Lincoln Laboratories and the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology the Applied Physics Laboratory at the Johns Hopkins University and the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. These have proven successful largely due to a mission that is driven by a donor or sponsor . the need for the applied physics laboratory to carry out classified military research a .
