Science Serving Humanity
All too often, innovations in biomedical engineering that could significantly improve the healthcare of people around the world never enter the marketplace. The University of Virginia has joined forces with the Wallace H. Coulter Foundation in a groundbreaking effort to address the root causes of this bottleneck and commercialize promising treatments and techniques.
As one of just 16 universities nationwide selected as a Coulter Translational Partner in Biomedical Engineering, we are building out a new hands-on, high-touch ecosystem for translation even as we accelerate and broaden the flow of cutting-edge products, protocols and processes from University labs into clinical practice.
Our goal is to realize Wallace Coulter’s goal of “science serving humanity.” We invite you to join us.
