Bigger isn’t always better. Although, Ohio University is a small research university, it has a wide breadth of technologies from the Engineering College, Medical School, Edison Biotechnology Institute, the Institute for Corrosion, The Center for Electrochemical Engineering Research, and others. The University also boasts a Carnegie classification as a high activity research university. Due to all this activity, the Ohio University Technology Transfer Office has engaged the Vortechs Group to grow its team of professionals. The Technology Transfer Office just hired someone to manage the physical science portfolio, We are now hiring the person to manage the life science portfolio coming out of the medical school.
