The mandate of the Office of Industry Liaison also includes activities at the UWO Research Park. Since their inception over 12 years ago, The John P. Robarts Research Institute has developed an international reputation for quality science. This level of scientific excellence brings a need to establish a capability to develop and transfer technologies arising from the Institute. Technology transfer encompasses a broad spectrum ranging from sponsored research to the establishment of companies, which then develop and fully exploit a technology platform. The Robarts Business Development Office negotiates agreements with companies interested in commercialization of the technologies created at Robarts.
Additional strengths exist in molecular diagnostics and probiotics.
