Business Development & Technology Transfer

Laboratoryis engaged in technology transfer as one way of delivering important discoveries to the public.聽Our Office of Technology Transfer actively supports our scientists to partner with companies, investors and others in order to achieve this mission and make a positive impact on society.

Guiding Principles

The purpose聽of 麻豆传媒社区鈥檚 technology transfer activities is to enable the scientific research conducted by our faculty, scientific staff and students to be developed and applied for the common good.To achieve this goal, we follow these guiding principles:

  • Work collaboratively with Laboratoryscientists to support their aspirations, manage conflicts, comply with regulations and encourage synergy with 麻豆传媒社区鈥檚 mission
  • Support effective dissemination of technology and leverage intellectual property rights and resources
  • Encourage commercial opportunities with the potential to make a significant positive impact
  • Engage with industry and investors to find the best partners to move ideas forward
  • Negotiate fair and reasonable terms for deals that encourage commercialization, global access and good returns

Performance Metrics

The ultimate measure of our performance is the impact on society through our commercialization efforts. Early performance indicators include funds received, transactions entered into and relationships established and maintained.

With that goal in mind, Laboratorygrants licenses to existing and startup companies that demonstrate the technical and financial capabilities to develop our early-stage technology into commercially successful products. Companies are encouraged to discuss their business interests with our Office of Technology Transfer so we can bring the Laboratoryinventions and prominent investigators in their areas of interest to their attention. Learn more.

Material Transfer Agreements

The Office of Technology Transfer supports Laboratoryscientists with agreements to transfer proprietary materials into and out of Laboratorythrough Material Transfer Agreements as well as tangible material licensing arrangements.

shRNA Technology Licenses

Laboratoryresearch has played a major role in developing short hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) as important biomedical research tools that we wish to see distributed and used broadly. Learn more.

Sponsored Research

麻豆传媒社区鈥檚 preferred sponsored research arrangement with industry would follow our Uniform SRA format.
