UAMS Arkansas BioVentures and its Technology Licensing Office (TLO) were established as a formal outgrowth of the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences' (UAMS) interest in translating its research into products that benefit human health. The UAMS College of Medicine established UAMS BioVentures to maximize global, industrial interaction with the University of Arkansas faculty, as well as to facilitate technology transfer, the development of startup companies that are based on UAMS technology, and contributions to Arkansas' economic development. UAMS BioVentures links the research minds at UAMS to global markets in order to advance Arkansas' scientific and economic development. Please meet our staff at the following link - meet the Staff
Welcome to the UAMS Arkansas BioVentures' web site. The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) is a research university, which houses the States' only medical school, teaching hospital, plus four other colleges, a graduate school, and six centers of excellence and institutes. Both our technology licensing and university-hosted business development incubator staffs are assigned to UAMS BioVentures. All Invention Disclosures from the UAMS Colleges, the Arkansas Children's Hospital and the local VA Hospital are processed through our staff, to the UAMS Patent Committee, then triaged, on a continuing review bases, for either out-license to global partners or to Arkansas-based startup companies.
UAMS BioVentures' role is to translate the State's life science research from the minds of our scientists to the global market place in order to enhance both human healthcare and Arkansas' economic development.
Please browse our website to discover how UAMS BioVentures may assist you and facilitate your business development.
Please do not hesitate to contact me or any staff member if you have any questions or comments.
