UNTHSC Office of Research and Biotechnology Overview
The Mission of the UNTHSC Office of Research is to advance basic, clinical, public health and translational research at the University of North Texas Health Science Center through supporting and promoting research endeavors across the institution.
The University of North Texas Health Science Center in Fort Worth is dedicated to providing a healthier future for a changing world by fostering discovery through research. Since its designation as a Health Science Center in 1993, research at UNTHSC has grown faster than at any other health science center in the state. The research involves a continuum from basic discovery and clinical research to clinical trials, public health, and outcomes research and ultimately to translational research and product development. Technology transfer moves new discoveries from the laboratory to the marketplace where maximal benefit to society can be realized. Research at UNTHSC involves active partnerships with other academic institutions, government laboratories and the pharmaceutical, medical device and biotechnology industries. The research interfaces with the community by spinning off intellectual property into the Fort Worth MedTech Incubator and by providing training and research services to local industries. Training of scientists and physician researchers occurs through its colleges: The Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, The Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine, the School of Public Health, and Physicians Assistants program.
