Industrial Partnerships

The Wyss Institute actively explores opportunities to develop close alliances with industry that may define new research directions and drive technology innovation. As global competition increases, the Wyss offers access to world-renowned researchers and clinicians collaborating in high-risk research at the same location, while our industrial partners help us to identify the highest value commercial applications. Our work spans multiple disciplines relevant to bioinspired material and device development, including programmable self assembly, biomimetic materials, directed evolution, and BioMEMS among others, which potentially minimizes capital investment and reduces technology risk for corporate partners in this new emerging area.
