Colorado School of Mines Professor Turns Research into Business Opportunity.
By Jennifer Beauprez, The Denver Post Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News
Jun. 2--A Colorado School of Mines professor has developed a test that can identify anthrax cases in just hours versus days and pinpoint E.coli in meat, salmonella in chicken and tuberculosis cases in Third World countries.
But as the first Mines faculty member in 26 years to take his research idea and turn it into a business, professor Kent Voorhees himself is being tested.
Voorhees is the first graduate of Mines' nascent technology transfer program, which supports researchers' efforts to parlay heady concepts into solid business plans.
The Golden school has licensed research to companies outside of Colorado. But in its history, 185 faculty members produced just 20 patents, and until now, none of those ideas spun off into a new Colorado business.
