The Brock Family Center for Applied Innovation at Vanderbilt University Medical Center accelerates the translation of research into real-world impact. It serves as a hub for advancing biomedical and health technologies, helping researchers move discoveries toward commercialization through resources, infrastructure, and partnerships. Acting as a bridge between academia and industry, the Center collaborates with biotech and health tech companies to develop, validate, and bring new solutions to market. Its ultimate goal is to increase the number of innovations from Vanderbilt that reach clinical practice or commercial deployment, while strengthening the university’s role as a national leader in health innovation.
