What is Technology Transfer?

The Technology Transfer Program was created at Thomas Jefferson University to capture the opportunities in basic and clinical research and to develop them into marketable products in a timely manner.

The program proactively seeks to foster the development of medical technologies through licensing and cooperative research efforts with industry. Technologies are patented to provide an incentive for industry investment in further development. Companies with the appropriate resources and interest are sought for commercializng these technologies. Companies are invited to contact Jefferson to discuss their interests. Where appropriate, the creation of new companies based on University technology is also encouraged.
