Internally Funded
Biomedical Research
Biomedical Engineering
Using Raman spectroscopy, SwRI scientists develop three-dimensional cellular imaging such as this molecular model of the drug Taxol® to assess the pharmacological value of candidate drugs more quickly.
Cutting-edge research using internal funding in addition to confidential client-funded research is performed at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI). Most internally funded projects follow an idea to proof of concept. Additional development and licensing agreements are negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
