University Collaborations
Research Triangle Solar Fuels Institute
A groundbreaking partnership between NC State, Duke University, UNC Chapel Hill,and Research
Triangle Institute (RTI) will make the Triangle area the leading scientific and technical resource in the field of solar fuels.
This collaboration brings an unparalleled critical massof science, engineering and translational expertise
toward developing scalable and sustainable productionof hydrocarbon fuel from sunlight.
University Collaborations
Joint NC State / UNC Chapel HillDepartment of Biomedical Engineering
Capitalizing on NC State’s engineering legacy and Chapel Hill’s School of Medicine, the Joint Dept. of
Biomedical Engineering links these disciplines together. Students and researchers engaged in this department
are immersed in the best of both worlds.
Joint MS and PhD degrees are offered on both campuses.
Takes advantage of North Carolina's unique data sources, evolving advanced analytics capability, and its tested and proven Cloud Computing infrastructure (NC State’s VCL).
Research Collaboration - NCB PreparedNC State, UNC-Chapel Hill, SAS, and other government and corporate partners address the urgent need for faster recognition and response to biological diseases and threats by optimizing the ability to accurately detect and quickly analyze biological hazards to ensure public health and safety.
Initial funding $5M from Department of Homeland Security
Uses multiple source data – human, animal, environmental – and advanced systems infrastructure and analytics to enable emergency responders while simultaneously coordinating information up through state and federal levels.

Jointly Held Patents
How often does collaborative research between NC State andour neighbor universities culminate in issued U.S. patents?
US Patent and Trademark Office reports:
22 jointly held patents between NC State &UNC Chapel Hill ranging from methods to create polymers in carbon dioxide, to spin coating
methods, to compositions for protecting civil infrastructure
4 jointly held patents between NC State &Dukefor methodsof combating infectious diseases to boronated compounds
17 jointly held patents between UNC Chapel Hill &Dukefor the treatment of tumors and therapeutic effectiveness
Acceleration Tool for Innovation Partnerships
REACH NCResearch, Engagement And Capabilities Hub
Working with NC partners including system-wide research universities, NC State is leading an effort to launch an online,searchable intelligent system that provides opportunities to
connect with potential collaborators through researcher profiles, projects, publications, and experts in North Carolina.
