Bio

Feargal is an  expert in governance and technology transfer. His background, combining  medical science with corporate and IP law, provides a strong foundation for  his career in the commercialisation of translational research. He has  successfully licensed and spun out technologies for both Ulster University  and the Russell Group Queen’s University Belfast. 

Areas  of Interest

Most recently,  his vocation for medical science and equitable access to and improvement of  healthcare led him to the National Institute of Health and Social Care  Research (NIHR), the largest funder of healthcare research in the UK. Here,  he led a team that focused on securing ROI for public funding of  commercialized research and Public-Private Partnerships for healthcare  infrastructure improvements within the NHS and the wider UK healthcare  research ecosystem.
