Overview

The Duke-NUS Centre for Technology and Development (CTeD) places Entrepreneurs in Residence on selected projects to advance commercialization. CTeD advertises participation lasting 1–3 years and says it matches candidates’ skills, backgrounds, and aspirations to project needs.

The program offers experience in biotech development and start-ups. CTeD describes recruiting one EIR per start-up project; this is a staffing policy, not a published cohort size. Entrepreneurs can contact CTeD to explore collaboration, but that invitation does not confirm a current vacancy.

What came of it

Historical examples include EIR Gayatri Sharma’s report that she created SingCell as a vehicle for laminin therapeutic applications. Brian O’Dwyer’s CognaLearn biography links his Duke-NUS EIR role to founding the company; Duke-NUS later reported that CognaLearn signed a patent license agreement for its learning technologies on January 29, 2016. These are historical examples, not aggregate program outcomes.
