PANELLISTS

Mike Johnson

Divisional Director, Corporate Partnerships

MRC Technology

Mike Johnson heads up MRC Technology’s Corporate Partnerships

division, building relationships with universities and charities that

support life science research. MRC Technology (MRCT) began life as

the internal technology transfer company of the Medical Research

Council, which is the UK's largest publicly funded biomedical

research organization. MRCT became independent in 2000, although

the vast majority of its business came from MRC for the next

decade. Since 2010, however, MRCT has been searching for assets

elsewhere. Now, about 70% - 80% of its projects are non-MRC. For

example, MRCT last year partnered with the Shanghai Institute of

Biochemistry and Cell Biology, which is part of the Chinese Academy

of Sciences. The institute is providing therapeutic targets, which can

be further developed at MRCT's Centre for Therapeutics Discovery.

‘We've been looking globally for good science, and we now have

more projects than we can handle. The question was whether we

could prioritize and share these projects. Now, we've pulled in

global organizations to push the science forward.’
