In this episode, Kirsten Leute speaks with Lita Nelsen, former Director of MIT’s Technology Licensing Office, and Katharine Ku, Executive Director of the Office of Technology Licensing of Stanford University. Ms. Nelsen and Ms. Ku have led two of the leading university technology transfer offices in the world. They’ve also enjoyed a decades-long friendship built initially on heading offices that were forging new paths in the still nascent field of technology transfer in the 1980s and 1990s.
