The Salk Institute's Office of Technology Development (OTD) is responsible for managing the intellectual property of the Salk Institute.
At the OTD, our mission is to enable our researchers to realize the commercial potential of their ideas. Our goal is to develop and support relationships with industry partners who can help turn scientific progress in the lab into tangible products for the benefit of patients and society at large, while returning income to the inventor and to the Institute to support further research.
