BTI Center for Translational Research

Translational Research Builds on the Findings of Fundamental Research to Produce Meaningful, Applicable Results that Directly Benefit Society

Through research and development, the center partners with BTI researchers to achieve four goals:

  • Produce data to strengthen intellectual property strategies
  • De-risk and advance technologies emerging from BTI labs towards commercialization
  • Produce data to support early-stage start-ups
  • Use unique technology platforms to expand the pipeline for new applications

A crucial asset of the Center is our connections with a broad range of stakeholders, from innovative Ag biotech actors to seed companies and farmers. Our networks extend from North America to Southeast Asia, Africa and South America, because we believe that we must better understand the needs of those we can help to truly understand how scientific discoveries can impact our world.

The Center is a unique and exciting environment where high-school and undergraduate students can intern, and early-career scientists can learn more about applied research and opportunities that exist in industry or in the field of technology transfer.

Our team is growing. We are in BTI’s Technology Incubator where early-stage start-ups are hosted.
