“We have enjoyed Dr. Murray’s expertise in conveying understanding and practical skills in IP and assessment of commercial relevance of IP in relation to early stage medical technology innovation. Dr. Murray has been an excellent teacher for our BioMedical Design fellows who all expressed great satisfaction and inspiration from the real-world case experiences that Dr. Murray brought into the teaching. Dr. Murray holds the rare ability to analyse what parts of a potential IP position will make commercial value for the individual business. That kind of focus is very valuable for early stage innovation teams needing to prioritize time and money.”

“I was lucky enough to attend Commercialisation of Biomedical Innovations led by Dr Murray. An excellent speaker, he has a deep mechanistic understanding of technology transfer and IP portfolio management. I was impressed by his track record of successful negotiations and how he removed the complexities behind the commercialisation process. He is passionate about his field and was able to inspire and educate us about the challenges of turning scientific inventions into commercial products. He has a genuine and transparent character and is extremely generous with his time and mentorship.”

“Compared with before I attended the training, my technology transfer ability has had an obvious improvement.  I mastered more technology transfer tools and got more customer recognition, and increased the trust of my boss as well.  I successfully passed the RTTP certification.  And all because of the teachings I received from Dr Michael.  Different from the average teachers, Dr Michael is not only funny and humorous but also willing to really teach.  He can combine practical experience and theory, and extracts many new ideas and know-how from teaching cases.  He is an experienced and effective teacher.  For example, his teaching in the application of intellectual property, cost management, and TRLs [Technology Readiness Levels] is very impressive. In teaching, he encouraged us to communicate, think and innovate. His focus and professionalism impressed me.  He has become a role model for my career.”
