Near term we have to focus not only on bricks and mortar but also on the money to fund ideas. All the other enlightened states are going that way.

Research Support

Let Scientists Be Scientists.

The hurdles a scientist goes through to do their research can keep them from doing their work - never giving the entrepreneurial cycle a chance to start. Therefore, the Memphis Bioworks Foundation helps secure grants necessary to perform research.

After the grants are secured and the research generates results, the academic institutions must go through the technology transfer process. The Memphis Bioworks Foundation acts as a guide through this paperwork-intensive experience. Once patented and licensed, the ideal scenario would be for the research to produce profits. The profits, in turn, generate royalties that get invested into more research - starting the whole process over again.

When you support the nonprofit Memphis Bioworks Foundation, you support the spirit of discovery necessary to create a successful bioscience cluster. Funds are directed to the most promising people and research for the study, testing, and lab work required to launch commercially successful products.
