The Cancer and Developing Entrepreneurial Technologies (CADET) program equips cancer researchers, clinicians, and trainees with foundational knowledge in healthcare innovation, intellectual property, and commercialization. Hosted by BioVentures, the technology transfer office of UAMS, the program supports participants in translating promising cancer discoveries into real-world impact through licensing, strategic partnerships, or new venture creation.
Open to UAMS graduate students and postdoctoral fellows engaged in cancer research or related fields who are interested in translational science and able to commit to a year-long program with weekly meetings and team-based activities.
