Meet a Ximbio representative at  Science Thursday - tomorrow!

The University of Iowa has partnered with Ximbio, the world’s largest non-profit reagent technology transfer service dedicated  to life science research reagents of all kinds including antibodies, cell lines, mouse models and small molecules. Ximbio raises the profile of research reagents with scientists, assists researchers with depositing them, and enables sharing with the life science community.

• Partnering with Ximbio eliminates the need to request outgoing material transfer agreements (MTAs).

• Ximbio makes your reagents widely available to the research community.

• There is no cost to you as a researcher to deposit your materials with Ximbio.

• Revenue the university receives from sales of your reagents is distributed back to you and the university under the UI Intellectual Property Policy.

When UI researchers submit an outgoing MTA request for a new material, the UI Research Foundation (UIRF) will forward the researcher a reagent disclosure form if the material would be appropriate to distribute through Ximbio. This will speed up future requests for the material.   

To learn more about Ximbio’s services, please attend this week’s Science Thursday on 9/27/2018, where a Ximbio representative will be available. Look for Ximbio at The Amazing Research Race tables near EMRB.

For ongoing questions about Ximbio, contact UIRF at uirf@uiowa.edu.
