As an NIH Research Evaluation and Commercialization Hub, MN-REACH is committed to improving health care by fostering the development and application of therapeutics, preventatives, diagnostics, devices, and tools. REACH Hubs provide educational opportunities for innovators as they further develop their product, establish novel partnerships within and beyond the university, strengthen existing alliances between stakeholders (including public, private, nonprofit, and academic sectors), and create cultural and systemic changes to more rapidly move from breakthrough innovations to products that will have health, economic, and societal impact.
