  • The Office of Translational Technologies (OTT) was established in 2011 to leverage MSM’s intellectual property, research, infrastructure, and services and diversify research revenue. OTT will accomplish this mission through: (i) creating a competitive proprietary position through effective patent prosecution; (ii) licensing MSM intellectual property to third-parties and faculty start-ups; (iii) government and industrial contract procurement for life sciences, medical & social, and health information technology services; and (iv) new research program development, including research enhancement through private philanthropy or public sponsorship.
