U. Mass Medical School and Carnegie announce licensing agreements with Oxford BioMedica

Date:1/7/2008

rapy, including stem cells as medical treatments, the potential drug development opportunities presented by Oxfords lentiviral vector delivery technology is intriguing to us. We have structured these license agreements to help the company pursue novel applications of RNA interference based on their established broad IP in the lentiviral vector delivery space. Our hope is to see the further advancement of the RNAi field toward novel therapies in the public interest.

To date, the Carnegie Institution, acting upon behalf of itself and the University of Massachusetts Medical School under an interinstitutional agreement, has granted approximately 50 non-exclusive licenses to companies using this invention.

All rights granted under the licensing agreements with Oxford BioMedica are subject to the concurrent rights of the existing non-exclusive licensees. The Carnegie Institution and the University of Massachusetts Medical School further anticipate continuing to issue new licenses for research and other purposes in this promising field.

The University of Massachusetts Medical School and the Carnegie Institution of Washington have entered into these agreements to promote the fullest development of the patent rights with anticipated benefits to the general public.
