Lab to Market

L.A.’s three prominent research universities send a range of products into the real world.

CALTECH, USC and UCLA researchers ponder big questions. How would you improve cancer treatment? Can solar power be produced more efficiently? Why can’t X-rays be taken with smaller devices? And sometimes they come up with the answers. When that happens, the technology transfer offices at the colleges can then help them spin off their research into businesses that create jobs and progress. This special section details recent tech transfer projects, such as John Dabiri’s wind turbines, described below.
