The EIR will play an essential role in forming the business development vision established in collaboration with the CSO and Sr. VP/Dean, as the office acts as single point of contact for the Biotech and Healthcare verticals to identify potential opportunities with the school of medicine including industry-contracts, ventures, collaborations and alliances.

This includes being able to help leadership strategize on appropriate messaging, and possessing the necessary diplomacy to foster appropriate business relationships that will enable them to do so.
The EIR works at the direction of the CSO and in cooperation with all SoM Departments, as well as with other University administrative offices, as well as our hospital and other external partners.
