Dr Toby Gould is an innovation and commercialisation expert with a background in tissue engineering, who is now working for Horizon Discovery. He started his research career working with stem cells during his PhD with the EPSRC Regenerative Medicine Doctoral Training Centre at the University of Nottingham.
His experience working closely with a surgeon was a catalyst in realising the criticality of embedding the perspective of the research end-user into the research process. Encountering patients and families of patients during his time at the Children's Brain Tumour Research Centre raised his awareness of the power of engaging with the “ultimate end-users” of research.
In this interview, he shares his path into becoming involved in research commercialisation.
Some of the early training he was involved in during his PhD, planted the seed that eventually led him to choose a career in commercialisation. Sometimes, early experiences, training events and meetings may seem unimportant or even insignificant; however, all of these encounters are part of our journey into figuring out how we really want to contribute to the research environment. Not just those at the bench contribute to research. Collaborative endeavours make the richness of the research environment. It takes many voices and perspective to go from research to the clinic.
