From Ohio University News
Three Chemistry & Biochemistry professors were among Ohio University honored faculty, staff and student inventors honored during a Feb. 26 awards ceremony.
Dr. Lyn Bowman, Biological Sciences, received a patent for “Systems and Methods for Estimating the Stiffness of a Bone Using Mechanical Response Tissue Analysis.”
This patent provides methods and systems for estimating the mechanical properties of a bone. This could be utilized as a non-radiating diagnostic test for osteoporosis or other bone disorders.
The Inventors Dinner recognized individuals who engaged with the university’s Technology Transfer Office over the past year to commercialize their research findings, by protecting their intellectual property through the patent process.
Ohio University has a successful track record in commercializing technologies. The institution has a portfolio of 102 active issued U.S. patents and 158 active issued non-U.S. patents. Ohio University received more than $110 million in royalty income from research licenses between fiscal year 2004 and 2020 to date.
