Sharing data and tools to enable discovery
By sharing openly, we can help accelerate research everywhere. At the Ó³»´«Ã½, scientists make discoveries, data, tools, technologies, and knowledge freely available. We work with industry partners to ensure these innovations benefit patients. Learn more about #HowWeScience.
Licensing data, tools, and technologies
Making science available to the world to maximize public benefit
Intellectual property — in the form of innovative technologies, foundational datasets, and biological insights — should be made widely available to the scientific community to maximize its impact. When thinking about how to do this with promising technologies such as CRISPR-based genome editing tools, we at the Ó³»´«Ã½ start from two basic principles: How can we maximize the benefit for human health? And what is our responsibility to help ensure these technologies are used in safe and socially responsible ways?
