ITP Teams at a Glance

ITPs in the C-DOCTOR Portfolio over Time

Since its inception, C-DOCTOR has aimed to develop a pipeline to select, refine and drive the development of promising dental, oral, and craniofacial tissue engineering and regenerative medicine technologies. ITP teams in the C-DOCTOR portfolio are assessed quarterly on progress toward their milestones. ITPs that meet their milestones are advanced/continue to progress through the pipeline, while a “fail-fast” approach is taken for ITPs that may not be progressing well and they are exited from the program. The figure below outlines the progression of ITPs in the C-DOCTOR portfolio over time.
