Verification Gaps

  • Whether Bioinnovation Bootcamp ran again in 2025 or 2026.
  • Albany Med-affiliated spinouts, licensees, or startups since 2023.
  • Current staffing, annual patent and licensing volumes, and commercialization metrics.
  • Whether OTR takes equity in startups formed around institution-owned IP.
