Commercialization of technology is a collaborative process between the Technology Transfer Office, researchers, and partners.

Our approach is to provide a resource to any individual or group interested in commercial activity, working hand-in-hand with corporate partners and support groups.

Whether working with existing alliance partners, new corporate partners, spinoff companies, entrepreneurs, venture capital or angel investors, Technology Transfer Office staff are continuously in the process of patenting technologies, licensing inventions, and helping spin-out new ventures.

Technology Transfer staff:

• Execute plans to commercialize technology
• Engage with experts who have "done it before"
• Advance strategic objectives of health, resources and global affairs
• Invest in patenting and proof of concept funds
• Provide business development support
