Mission & Operations
Our mission is to provide Vanderbilt faculty with professional commercialization services, facilitating the translation of research discoveries into market-ready innovations, generating revenue to advance future research activities, and driving positive societal impact.
We accomplish this by serving as an efficient and effective conduit for the transfer of promising intellectual property to industry; contributing to regional economic development by licensing locally and supporting new venture creation; and encouraging greater translational research collaborations between academia and industry.
