Promoting the patent transformation in various ways with limited human resources of research management

The amount of medical intellectual property projects such as patents has been increasing year by year,while the human resources of management is very limited in hospitals.Through the analysis of successful patent transformations in recent 3 years of Zhongshan Hospital,Fudan University,it is noted that current development of translational medicine in China is still in its infancy.We propose that the management need to have clear focuses at multi-levels,and transformation could be realized in multi-channels with various strengths.Help could be from leverage of the government transformation platform,the academic influence of experts,or other research and production platforms,as long as they can help facilitate successful transformation. Key words: Translational medicine;  Patents transformation;  Scientific research management
