New Mexico Tech Research Foundation

The New Mexico Tech Research Foundation (NMTRF) serves as the technology transfer and commercialization arm for the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. The foundation manages the university's intellectual property portfolio, facilitating the transition of academic research into the commercial sector through licensing and the formation of start-up companies. While the organization supports a broad range of disciplines including engineering and hydrology, it maintains a significant focus on life sciences, particularly in the development of advanced biosensors, nanoparticle-based drug delivery systems, and antimicrobial technologies. NMTRF acts as a bridge between laboratory-stage innovations and industry partners to drive economic development and public health advancements.
