Cooper University Health Care and Rowan University leaders plan to create a joint innovation center to support a consortium of like-minded researchers and boost medical technology commercialization.
Inspired by a 12-year relationship formed through Cooper Medical School of Rowan University, the Joint Health Sciences Center, and the South Jersey Institute for Population Health in Camden, the two institutions are looking to deepen support for researchers and clinicians who want to bring real-world solutions from the lab bench to the marketplace.
Cooper’s 900+-member Cooper University Physicians (CUP) group physicians hold joint appointments as clinical faculty at the school, which includes biomedical research labs staffed by Rowan scientists and engineers.
Between its two medical schools, partnerships with area health systems, and $451 million in sponsored research awards in the last decade, Rowan has become a biomedical research powerhouse.
