Biomaterials

Often in the course of research, new tools are developed and materials are created that have the potential to be useful to other researchers either at other academic institutions or companies. In the event that other academic researchers are interested in obtaining University materials, a material transfer agreement can be put in place. While the University does not typically patent biomaterials such as antibodies, cell lines, and transgenic animals, these materials can be transferred to companies for a fee. If companies are, or might be, interested in materials you have created, submit a record of invention disclosure.
