URC Innovation
Some of the research emerging from URC universities can seem like science fiction, but it has practical, real-world applications to improve the health and quality of life of people around the world. These discoveries can increase the efficiency of healthcare efforts, reduce costs to patients, and - in some cases – serve as the basis for successful startup companies.
