Washington University Medical Center

Washington University Medical Center is an academic medical campus in St. Louis anchored by Washington University School of Medicine and partner hospitals, uniting research, clinical care, and education at metropolitan scale. Close alignment with BJC HealthCare and co-located adult and pediatric teaching hospitals enables rapid clinical translation, access to diverse patient populations, and efficient multi-site trials. The campus sits near the Cortex Innovation Community, providing nearby incubators and corporate R&D space that lower barriers to collaboration and co-development. Research is powered by substantial NIH support and other competitive federal funding, and commercialization is supported by a dedicated Office of Technology Management for IP, licensing, and startups.
