US BioDefense launches search engine
2 March 2005
US BioDefense has announced that it is developing a new search engine facilitating innovation exchange.
The "High Tech Transfer Search Engine" identifies intellectual property and US BioDefense workers currently use it to accelerate the identification of stem cell and biodefense intellectual property acquisition programs.
Dubbed T2X.us, the search engine is modelled on the successful business model functionality of search engines like Google, Yahoo! and LookSmart.
Programmers are now updating its T2X search engine for more robustness in preparation for a commercial version launch. The search engine connects VC's, small business, and public companies seeking technologies with universities, government agencies, and scientists.
California-based US Biodefense claims that over $30 billion is invested each year in innovation and much of the new technology developed is never put to commercial use.
T2X is an online Technology Transfer Exchange where commercial members can identify technology that is available for licensing or partnering from universities, research labs, and scientists.
Searchable technologies on the search engine include vaccines, drug discovery, nanotechnology and general biology, from sources such as the US Patent and Trademark Office, Harvard's Office for Technology Transfer, University of California at Irvine Office of Technology Alliances, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Small Business Administration, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The T2X search engine will also be integrated into US BioDefense's Open Source Stem Cell Research and Development Platform, which promotes collaboration amongst researchers, scientists and industry experts in the field of stem cell technology.
