As we Start, Brief Landscape in Turkey Public Sector (Ministry of Health) is very active, but very problematic, payments through social security system is being overhauled. Uncertaintities: Turkish FDA (Medical Device Agency), Purchase Guaranteed R&D Project Contracts, Health Technology Free-Trade Zones, Extreme Mass Purchasing by the Government (device, drugs, services)... Our first priority is not to loose our reference/scientific identity within the government as Boğaziçi University (if someone asks!). As inovita, we stand equidistant to all projects, promote the innovation in life sciences and technologies in general, but we facilitate the promising ideas/projects towards products, keeping an eye always on the priorities of life science sector in Turkey. There is currently no established IDE-like (premarket evaluation, approval) mechanisms in Turkey, we need to to solve this urgently. Boğaziçi University: Scientific, Technology and Innovation Education should be side-by-side. We need to restructure our current R&D infrastructure and how we utilize it
Center for Life Sciences and Technologies and Inovita has triggered and leading current efforts for the, Kandilli Campus (Rasathane) Science and Technology Park (Transformation) Project cooperating with other universitesies, and partners from industry and government to include the necessary infrasturcture for translational research projects in Life Sciences and Health Technologies.

Life Sciences Resaerch Center A modular, interdisciplinary Center for Life Sciences and Technologies has been established within Bogaziçi University in 2009. It has been recognized as one of university s top strategic priorities. An initial infrastructure money has been secured from National Planning Agency (DPT) for 3(+2) years. It is ongoing, total budget around 10 Million USD.
Motivation Recent global trends in Health Care: Personalized Medicine Minimal Invasive Diagnosis and Treatment In the near future: Information technology based drug and treatment design and more need for specialized animal research centers all around the world Pressure to decrease the halth care costs (less hospital stays) A more comrehensive sytem based aproach is needed to biological systems 24
BU LifeSci Center National Center Open to all relevant projects from Boğaziçi University or from outside Focus on solutions and applications Dissemination Activities will not be neglected Become a part of International Networks and Collaborations.
Why Boğaziçi? A multidisciplinary, young, academic team: (BME, EE, CHE, CHEM, MBG, PSYCH) Turkey s first Institute of Biomedical Engineering (1983) Applied engineering and industry collaboration focus stated firmly within its renewed R&D strategy Matching support by the university BME bldg, TAM, Vivarium,

Motivation (1) Medical interventions are increasingly done via minimally invasive methods. Customized smart treatments are delivered locally, using image guidance, using increasingly smaller devices (eg: endoscopes or endovascular catheters). Implanted medical devices are also getting more smaller, but much more smarter. They are utilized in diverse medical applications (e.g.: cancer, neural and cardiovascular diseases) 33
Motivation (2) Turkey has importing almost all of its high-tech medical devices. Turkey currently has no reference laboratory or strategic plan for the development and testing of the next generation clinical grade medical microdevices (catheters, sensors, etc.) Bogazici University, with its current strengths of micro electro-optics and biomedical engineering are well positioned to place a role. Advantages: Better funding opportunity, bigger national and international scientific impact. While trying to catch up with the current technology, actively develop the next generation to play a bigger role in the future. Help/guide national medical device industry 34
Aim Develop clinical grade next generation catheters, smart implantable microsystems (sensors, stimulators, drug delivery systems, all integrated) for specific medical applications

Industrial Ph.D. Program in Life Sciences and Technologies Big problem in Turkey. Started as a test program in 2012. Student, will get a scholarhip from a company, university gets research money from government Joint Thesis Student time could be shared between university and firm. Student could be fully employer at the start or at a critical milestone. Coordinator: Rana Sanyal (Kimya)
Rasathane Science and Technology Park Project Planning is at its full spead. Includes spaces for projects, spin-off and small company incubators. Referans labs for certification (CE), seperate project Larger firms are encouraged in nearby developmental areas around the campus
Center/Platform Business (Partnership) Model No model in Turkey for a Government University for University-Industry Partnership (joint space, people, budget) SAM inc. (SAM A.Ş., Eskişehir) is an exception Non Profit Status (de facto, gentleman s aggreement) Protokol with public university and subesquent share donation Aim: public universities can not manage a big infrasturucture We got interest letters from 6 firms We will form the company and negatiate with the university (Elections??) Why should a firm be a partner? Plan and utilize precompetition level reference labs jointly Participate actively in management and strategy of the center
Biyogirişimci Destek Programı (HayalET-İnovita işbirliği ile)
INOVITA Translational Research Portfolio BUVAK is our partner (http://www.buhayalet.com/) 2 February 2011, first projects are screened. We focus mostly on students and early ideas (students, scientific prototip, before any big initial funding or angel/venture/investor. Projects will be supported financially based on their timetable, only when they achieve their critical milestones. Coulter-inspired. Main focus is mentoring and guidance. We actually needed funds to start the program (government or private, all welcome). But we need a portfolia for the fund! We put aside 50,000 USD for the initial carrot (could expand to 100K). We also need a Program Director.
