The University of Washington is one of nine universities to receive the Coulter Translational Partnership Award in Biomedical Engineering.  With a long history of translating research into products for medicine, this multi-year grant from the Wallace H. Coulter Foundation increases the Bioengineering Department’s ability to move biomedical engineering technologies from laboratory to bedside.  The Coulter Translational Research Partnership Program at the UW is dedicated to improving human healthcare by supporting translational research in biomedical engineering-research directed at the transfer of promising technologies within the university research laboratory that are progressing towards commercial development and clinical practice.
