The Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) has published a list of patents that have been awarded to University researchers during the past few months. Several MSI Principal Investigators, shown below, are on this list. The complete list can be found on the OVPR’s Inquiry blog, "Patent roll call, spring 2016."
The PIs' group pages are linked from their names (PI names are in bold). Clicking on the Project Title on the PI page will take you to an abstract of the researchers' project(s) at MSI.
