The State University of New York (RF) implemented the regionalization of the
innovation operations in July, 2011. Before regionalization, SUNY had four
technology transfer offices at university centers which served only their own
locations, and one technology transfer office at RF Central Office which served
27 campus locations. SUNY today has seven innovation offices; five regional
innovation hubs located at Albany, Binghamton, Buffalo, the College of Nanoscale Science and
Engineering, and Stony Brook, which provide innovation services to other SUNY campuses
in their regions, while Downstate Medical Center and Upstate Medical University each have
technology transfer offices on their campuses which provide services only on site.

In partnership with the University at Albany, HocusLocus, LLC. developed a trans-RNA switching mechanism called structurally interacting RNA or “sxRNA” that uses unique microRNA expression profiles to express desired proteins in a cell specific manner. sxRNA technology enables targeted expression of any chosen protein in cells of specific tissues, disease states, and developmental stages by coupling post- transcriptional regulation processes with unique microRNA signatures.

The Institute for Research on Labor, Employment, and the Economy (IRLEE) extends the reach of the University through leading business and regional development in service of the broader economy.

That spirit of entrepreneurism led to the creation of the FedEx Institute of Technology (FIT) at the University of Memphis. The FIT building was opened by the University of Memphis in 2003. It has 110,000 square feet with software research labs, technology transfer offices, and classrooms. It is also home of a state-of-the-art United Nations-type amphitheater, with language translation and technology capabilities to host international meetings for business. However, the meaning of FIT was summed up by then President, Dr. Shirley Raines when she said, “The physical space is impressive, but more importantly, the FedEx Institute of Technology serves as a hub for innovation and entrepreneurship, the place where business, education and innovation intersect.” In the ten years since its opening, FIT has more than lived up to those expectations.

The University of Minnesota has a very successful technology commercialization operation, measured in the number of disclosures, patent filings, licenses issued, and start-up companies. This is the result of several very fortuitous factors, but hinges upon the U of M’s ability and eagerness to be the catalyst that transforms independent factors into a new whole, more valuable than the sum of its parts.

Food Chain Safety (FCS) was founded at Washington State University (WSU) in 2010 to
maximize the impact from over a decade of food sterilization research in the lab of Dr. Juming
Tang. Beginning in 1999 with a grant from the US Army and an industry consortium of US food
producers, Dr. Tang began a 10-year journey to develop a process that could provide healthy,
flavorful, and safe, foods to troops worldwide.
