Indiana Center for Biomedical Innovation (ICBI) provides a platform for academic entrepreneurs to translate their discoveries into commercial products. ICBI was created in partnership with IU School of Medicine, IU Health, and the Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (CTSI) to support the IU School of Medicine’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. Below are some of what the organization has to offer academic researchers on their journey to transform their discoveries into life-saving therapies.
ICBI provides fully equipped biology and chemistry laboratories, collaborative space, offices, conference rooms, funding and various research and development services.
