No, if the faculty member has significant ownership or involvement in the startup, he/she will not be able to conduct research as the principal investigator. However, the inventor can be involved in the research, for instance, as a technical consultant, pending approval from the Conflict of Interest Committee. Please see TechTIPS website for more information on conflict of interest.
