Technology Transfer

Emory's renowned faculty develop hundreds of innovations every year. Our researchers apply distinctive expertise to pursue intellectual passions with the primary goals of solving problems and helping society. Breakthrough research highlights include:

• The invention of Emtriva (emtricitabine) and 3TC (lamivudine), drugs taken by more than nine in 10 HIV patients in the United States who are on lifesaving therapy
• The application of virtual reality therapy to treat phobias, addictions and post-traumatic stress
• The creation of the Emory Cardiac Toolbox, software that allows better disgnosis of imminent heart attacks risks

This chart demonstrates how Emory researchers develop innovations across the spectrum of types of technologies (fiscal year 2012).
