University of Mississippi

A leading public research university in Mississippi, the University of Mississippi spans its main campus in Oxford and an academic medical center in Jackson, combining broad academic strength with a collaborative, service-oriented culture. Industry partners engage through a research and technology park that offers incubator space, shared core facilities, and collaboration suites next to campus. Integration with a major hospital system enables large-scale clinical research, access to clinical data, and translation from lab to care, while proximity to the Memphis logistics hub and regional manufacturing corridors shortens timelines from prototype to pilot. Research is supported by competitive federal funding, including awards from NIH, NSF, and the Department of Defense. A dedicated technology transfer office manages IP and licensing and supports startup formation within the park.
