About Rafael Diaz
I am a goal-oriented and self-motivated professional with a strong background in biopharmaceuticals and in-vitro diagnostics. As someone who likes to take on new challenges that give me the opportunity to learn and grow, you will always find me working on improving my current skills and gaining new ones. In my role as a Licensing Manager at the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, I focus on commercializing the small molecules and novel targets portfolio technologies generated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, a world-renowned institution whose research budget is more than $1 billion per year, of which almost 70% focuses on Life Sciences. My career at WARF has enabled me to build a strong background in technology transfer, new ventures, assessment of early-stage technologies, Intellectual Property strategy and negotiation. I am passionate about helping individuals who want to make a difference.
