EVMS cutting-edge research

Hampton Roads Partnership member Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) improves people’s lives everywhere with their cutting-edge research that happens right here in Hampton Roads.

Whether it’s the development of microbicides aimed at controlling the spread of HIV in third-world countries or the successful patents and inventions that result from the hard work of local doctors and researchers, EVMS is advancing the field of medicine and making a difference.

Moving a crucial medication from the research lab to a patient’s pill bottle doesn’t happen overnight. When it comes to getting those ideas to the public in the form of new inventions, research or medication, the EVMS Office of Technology Transfer makes it happen.
