Products and innovations that result from the work of our researchers and academics are classed as intellectual property (IP) and this is an important asset for the Oxford Health BRC.
We work closely both with Oxford University Innovation and NHS Innovations to protect and commercialise IP arising out of Oxford Health BRC research projects.
Oxford University Innovation
