In academia there are predominantly clinicians, educators, clinical trialists, and researchers. It is the role of the researcher to continue to forge new paths and attempt escape velocity towards a new world free of whatever disease they investigate.

Industry also does discovery and development, actually on a much larger scale. In the end the two collaborate and the question is at what stage, what price, and how much does the University retain. UPenn is not the only game in town by far.

Generally speaking, I find these collaborations stick for many, many years officially and informally. Synergies get built.
