For Industry Partners

The Warren Alpert Medical School is forging strategic partnerships to help turn discoveries made in its labs into treatments and cures for the patients who need them.

The final step in the translational science continuum is creating drugs, diagnostic tests, devices or other applications based on the basic science and clinical discoveries made in our labs. The Warren Alpert Medical School partners with industry and supports the creation of start-up companies that will help commercialize research products.

We work closely with Brown's office for Brown Technology Innovations and urge interested parties to connect with us through BTI.
