Licensing Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s Intellectual Property

Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia is recognized consistently as one of the top children’s hospitals and has a strong reputation for world-class research and innovation. Ongoing discovery at the Hospital and its Research Institute generates an always evolving portfolio of available technologies.

The Office of Technology Transfer plays a key role in bridging the gap between innovation and commercialization:
