The Intellectual Property Core’s goal is to help researchers and clinicians evaluate their technologies for commercialization, protect their ideas through the patent or copyright process, and transfer technologies into the marketplace via out-licensing and startup formation. We encourage companies to engage with our investigators to further the value and impact of our research.

Partnering with companies to transform the work of our researchers into innovative products, devices and medical technologies.

Collaborating to provide educational experiences and access to authentic scientific research for students of all ages.
