Summary
Nd jehda Fiona Murray is an Associate Professor of Technological Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Strategic Management at the MIT Sloan School of Management andthe Faculty Director of the Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship. Her research interests focus on science commercialization, the organization of scientific research, and the role of science in national competitiveness. After a short time on the faculty of Oxford University’s Said Business School, Murray joined MIT Sloan. She teaches the “Innovation Teams” course, which assembles cross-disciplinary teams of students from across MIT to learn the process of science and technology commercialization, with a focus on judging a technology’s commercial potential. Murray works with a range of firms, designing global organizations that are both commercially successful and at the forefront of science. Her recent engagements have focused on relationships that span the public and private sectors. She is particularly interested in emerging organizational arrangements for effective commercialization of science, including public-private partnerships, not-for profits, venture philanthropy, and university-initiated seed funding. Murray is well known for her academic work on how growing economic incentives influence the rate and direction of scientific progress, particularly in the areas of genomics and stem cell research. She is actively involved in U.S. and European policy discussions regarding the appropriate use of intellectual property and licensing in universities. Murray also has participated in policy debates about the use of patents to promote research into neglected diseases. Her research has been widely published in a diverse range of scientific and social science journals, including Science, the New England Journal of Medicine, Nature Biotechnology, Research Policy, Organization Science, andthe Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization. Murray holds a BA in chemistry from Merton College, University of Oxford, and an MS in engineering sciences and a PhD in applied sciences from Harvard University.
