Technology Licensing
One of the most common outcomes for a technology developed by UCSF faculty, students, or staff, is that they go on to be licensed to healthcare companies that wish to incorporate these new discoveries into their product lines. This is a key component of the commercialization process, a process that brings our best healthcare ideas to the people who could really benefit from them. To this end, we have a skilled team of licensing officers working both to ensure these technologies are widely available to the public, and that the primary investigator (PI) is rewarded for their hard work. They also ensure that the University receives a portion of the revenues to ensure future PIs have the material and financial resources to advance their science and make the important discoveries that will define the future of healthcare.
