Intellectual Property from Eberly College

The Eberly College of Science, along with Penn State University, strongly supports the translation of scientific discoveries from the lab to the marketplace to address real-world problems and make a greater impact. Our researchers are developing innovations across the life, mathematical, and physical sciences. Many of these efforts have been supported by the Office for Innovation, the Technology Advisory Board, and funding jointly provided by the college and the Penn State Research Foundation.
