The Rice Biotech Launch Pad, established last year, will provide RBL with fully developed and de-risked technologies from Rice’s extensive life sciences technology portfolio, serving as a steady pipeline of innovation for new ventures. RBL’s goal is to streamline the commercialization process by leveraging a portfolio of over 100+ (and growing) patents from Rice faculty, bringing together world-class scientists and engineers with experienced business executives to launch multiple companies in a biotech innovation environment.
