Dr. Jane Payumo is an interdisciplinary scientist with substantial education and interdisciplinary research and technical experience in plant science, econometrics, intellectual property rights (IPR) management and scientometrics. She obtained her Doctor of Philosophy in Interdisciplinary Sciences (Molecular Biosciences, Economics, and Rural Sociology) and postdoctoral training on IPR and international development at Washington State University, Pullman, Washington. She finished her undergraduate (cum laude) and Master’s Degree program (with honors) in the Philippines. Dr. Payumo has many years of practical training in handling patent, trademark, and copyright applications, agreement and collaboration negotiations, marketing and commercialization of technologies, R&D landscape studies, and business development. She has worked in government research lab in the Philippines and public land grant university in the United States. An IPR advocate, she helps spread the importance of IPR and technology transfer management, especially for public institutions in developing countries. She is a prolific writer and has written and co-written more than 60 technical (peer-reviewed) and popular papers, Op-Ed, and books/book chapters on plant biotechnology, IPR and innovation policies, innovation management, internationalization, and research evaluation. Many of these publications were co-authored with international partners from US, India, Indonesia, Philippines, and China. She has received multiple awards and recognition because of these publications. Two of her outstanding contribution to IPR research include: comprehensive analysis on the interconnectedness of IPR, especially patents, and crop biotechnology and the design of economic models that establish correlation of IPR and agricultural development. Dr. Payumo is also active in grant seeking and served as a co-project investigator for multiple grants related to IPR and biotechnology, innovation and R&D center establishment, capacity building on IPR and agriculture-related topics, and international research metrics design. She is recognized nationally and internationally and often invited to speak in conferences, workshops, and lectures as resource person/expert especially in IPR management, prior art searching, plant biotechnology, and scientific grant writing. Her research is currently focused on the design of appropriate metrics (e.g. scholarly output and inventions) to measure outcomes of international research collaborations.
