Cell lines and other biological materials can be crucial drug discovery tools. These research tools could help make important discoveries and advance scientific understanding. <\/p>\n

In addition, research tools could potentially be licensed to provide an additional source of funds for research. <\/p>\n

One of UNeMed’s main goals is the transfer of technology from the research lab to the commercial sector. Through the comercialization of research tools, UNeMed can help researchers acquire additional funds to support their work. <\/p>\n

How:<\/B> The materials can be transferred under a limited-use license agreement in exchange for an upfront payment, research support and, depending on the agreement, a percentage of product sales. <\/p>\n

What:<\/B> Examples of research tools with commercialization potential include:
