About

The Brock Family Center for Applied Innovation works to accelerate the translation of discoveries and know-how to the public domain through commercialization and industry partnerships. The Center was established in 2023 through a $10 million gift from the Brock family and welcomes pitches from biotech and health tech startup companies interested in partnering with VUMC to further develop and validate their products in a real-world laboratory within a leading health care system.
