Engineers have developed a new class of soft, electrically activated devices capable of mimicking the expansion and contraction of natural muscles, a major advance in the field of robotics.

Often technology transfer is dominated by activities in engineering and the biosciences. “But interestingly, we see it starting to become a campus-wide effort now with innovations coming out of the College of Music, athletics and all these different pockets of the university that are new,” says TTO director Bryn Rees.

Seven CU Boulder research teams have been selected to receive grants for the development of commercially-promising technologies.

As Congress determines the funding levels for the federal science agencies for fiscal years 2017 and 2018, a new report highlights 102 spin-off companies—three from the University of Colorado Boulder—that demonstrate how investments in basic scientific research benefit the overall economy.

One day, next-generation gene therapies could be used to nudge the body’s own cells to make those proteins at precisely the right time and in just the right amount. CU Boulder biochemistry professor Robert Batey and Alexandria Forbes, Ph.D., founder and CEO of biotech firm MeiraGTx, are teaming up to explore how to do it.
