Baylor College of Medicine is recognized as a premiere academic health science center and is known for excellence in education, research and patient care.

BCM has total research support of $374 million, with $314 million from federal sources, and more than 90 research and patient-care centers and units.

For 2008, U.S.News & World Report ranked BCM 10th overall among the nation’s top medical schools for research and 11th for primary care. BCM also is listed 13th among all U.S. medical schools for National Institutes of Health funding, and No. 2 in the nation in federal funding for research and development in the biological sciences at universities and colleges by the National Science Foundation.

The ingenuity of BCM faculty produces over 100 new technology disclosures each year. The goal of the Baylor Licensing Group is to help turn the technology disclosures of BCM scientists into products that benefit society and generate income for the developers of those technologies and to BCM in order to support further research. BLG catalyzes this process by working with companies, venture capital sources and entrepreneurs who are interested in commercializing new technologies. This process benefits the public by creating new products and promoting economic development.
