About the program
BioVentures is the technology transfer and commercialization office for the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, managing the intellectual property generated across UAMS's colleges, institutes and clinical enterprise. It handles patent filing, copyright and trademark protection, licensing strategy and agreement negotiation, market analysis and business model development for faculty inventions. BioVentures also supports startup formation directly, offering entrepreneurial guidance, incubator space and introductions to investors, plus help identifying and applying for grant funding.
