About Allison Markova
Director of Technology Transfer & Innovation Partnerships at the URI Research Foundation, working to connect groundbreaking university research with partners who can bring it to life. I lead efforts to accelerate innovation, build strategic collaborations, and translate ideas into impact—bridging the gap between discovery and real-world application.With a career grounded in advancing ocean and planetary health, my work centers on fostering cross-disciplinary partnerships and helping research move from the lab to solutions that matter. I’m guided by empathy, creativity, and a commitment to sustainability—building programs and partnerships that empower people and protect our shared environment.As a visual storyteller and communicator, I’m equally driven by the human side of innovation—sharing the stories behind the science to inspire connection, collaboration, and a sense of shared purpose in tackling global challenges.
