The department is comprised of three teams that provide end-to-end support and management of the innovation pipeline:

Together, King’s Innovation Catalyst support King’s researchers to win translational grants for launching early ideas beyond the lab, secure collaborations and licensing deals with industry and other partners, and spin out new ventures.
