Partnering with Academia

McGowan is a large multi-disciplinary organization whose faculty and collaborators are geographically dispersed. The success and the growth of the Institute over the past fifteen years (individually and in collaboration) is in itself testimony to the ability and commitment of the leadership and faculty to build and to manage complex intellectual partnerships. An important aspect of our approach is that, the skill in network building that is the foundation to any large and complex interdisciplinary program, is not concentrated in a single individual but rather in inter institutional teams that fosters multidisciplinary collaboration and, most importantly, facilitates the transfer of technologies emerging from the research to the patients who need them.
