University of Kansas Medical Center

University of Kansas Medical Center is a public academic medical center with thousands of learners and a statewide mission in education, research, patient care, and community engagement. Its Kansas City campus works closely with The University of Kansas Health System, creating an academic clinical environment for translational research, clinical studies, and implementation; Wichita and Salina sites extend connections into regional and rural care networks. Research is supported primarily by competitive federal funding, especially from NIH, with additional support from agencies such as CDC and other federal sponsors. KU’s Center for Technology Commercialization supports intellectual property, licensing, and new venture creation across the Medical Center and wider university.
