Building Research Power. Commercializing Its Results

Discover the two R&D support programs run by Ajou University Hospital, all in one place.

As a research-driven hospital, Ajou builds its research capabilities through the Research-Driven Hospital R&D Program, then brings those results to market through BioHealth, connecting clinical practice with technology commercialization. See how a hospital’s research power translates into industry outcomes.

Ajou University Hospital R&D Programs

Two pillars, working together: building research power and turning it into market results.

Research-Driven Hospital R&D Program

Designated a Research-Driven Hospital by the Ministry of Health and Welfare since 2013, with three consecutive re-designations. Ajou opens its research resources and medical infrastructure to drive industry-academia-research-hospital collaboration and build a sustainable R&D model.

BioHealth Clinical-to-Commercialization Program

This program supports a dedicated Technology Licensing Office (TLO) tailored to healthcare, helping translate research outcomes into real-world technology transfer and commercialization. Ajou also forms consortiums with other universities, participating in everything from technology discovery to commercialization and startup support.
