About the Foundation for Research Development

The MUSC Foundation for Research Development (FRD) is a non-profit foundation created to benefit The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) by establishing relationships which bring ideas, technology, and expertise of the faculty, staff, and students at MUSC to industry and ultimately into public use.   FRD serves as the technology transfer office for MUSC and manages inventions, patenting, and licensing of MUSC discoveries.
