Generated streamline visualizations of cardiac blood flow. The color at a point within a streamline is chosen to distinguish velocity - red streamlines signify fast moving blood, while blue streamlines represent lower speeds. In order to disambiguate direction, a small number of arrows were added within the streamline to point the way blood is flowing.
Depending on reaction conditions and parameters, the hydroxyapatite crystallization will form various sizes and morphologies: needles, hexagons, barrels, coral, spheres, dendrites, plates, and leaves, with sizes from 50nm to 5µm.
Rutgers scientists have developed single-stranded oligonucleotides that inhibit gene-specific RNA biosynthesis by a novel mechanism of action. This enables the development of highly efficient gene silencing agents that show unprecedented inhibitory levels in cell culture and has great promise in vivo.
The U1 adaptor enables very significant improvements over existing RNAi approaches because the U1 Adaptor is more stable and deliverable due to its chemically flexible platform. It can also be used in tandem with current RNAi technology to give deep silencing.
Rutgers scientists have discovered a new type of lipid in a virus that infects the phytoplankton E. huxleyi. This lipid dramatically affects phytoplankton apoptosis (programmed cell death), and the complete biosynthetic pathway has been determined. In E. huxleyi, the increased role of apoptosis has seriously reduced the number of phytoplankton, which disrupts Earth's carbon cycle and increases global warming. Also, scientists are currently questioning why healthy cells undergo apoptosis and cancerous cells do not. Studies of the new lipid from the virus affecting E. huxleyi may help scientists understand how to induce or reactivate apoptosis in cancerous cells and prevent further global warming.
OTC serves as a bridge between Rutgers researchers and commercialization partners providing patenting, marketing, licensing, and other commercialization support.

Welcome to the Office of Technology Commercialization at Rutgers also known as the OTC.
Success through Innovation
Creating knowledge and transmitting it to present and future generations is the very essence of a research university. Students and faculty at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey are creating new discoveries and technology in numerous disciplines including agriculture, engineering, computing, physical sciences, energy, life sciences and pharmaceuticals.
At the Office of Technology Commercialization, we serve as a bridge between Rutgers researchers and commercialization partners, ensuring the smooth and fast transfer of intellectual property created at the University.
We:
- Transfer the inventions of Rutgers faculty into practical applications, via licenses and start-up companies so that they benefit society on a local, national and global basis
- Educate and serve as a resource for the Rutgers community on matters relating to intellectual property, technology commercialization and entrepreneurship.
- Protect intellectual property via trademarks and patents
- Market technologies to companies, entrepreneurs and investors via numerous channels
- Negotiate patent licenses
- Assist in start-up company creation
In pursuit of our objectives, Rutgers, the flagship comprehensive public research university, has maintained a patenting and technology commercialization program for over 20 years.
Success through Commercialization
The Office of Technology Commercialization turns Rutgers academic discoveries into commercial successes. We move technology from the academic environment to the commercial sector. In doing so, we provide patenting, marketing, licensing, start-up company formation and other commercialization support to our student and faculty researchers at three campuses throughout New Jersey.
