Technology Transfer

Medicahead is an industry oriented project that aims to provide state-of-the-art solutions for target and drug discovery. The implementation and deployment of the Medicahead platform’s professional services has the support of the Catalan Government (AGAUR-Valor2010), Genoma España, and the collaboration of IRB Barcelona, XRQTC, FMB and IBM Research Spain

The technology transfer activity of Medicahead includes the identification and protection of key technologies for Personalized Medicine, production of industry-ready prototypes, preparation of a customer network and development of proof-of-concept projects, service deployment, and ultimately the licensing out of our technology.

The BSC (together with IRB and FMB) is working towards the creation of a spinoff on the Nostrum Drug Discovery program, which will use Medicahead technology to develop new medicines.
