Product Showcase

The HHS Intramural Research Programs have invented numerous technologies that were licensed to companies for commercial development and now are on the market. Products showcased on this site are utilized every day to detect, treat or prevent disease or assist researchers as they continue to explore ways to develop newer and more effective health care products and procedures.

The Showcase includes products that are now or have been on the market. Some are FDA-approved and many do not necessitate FDA approval. While there may be multiple inventors on any product, all of whom may not be from HHS, the primary purpose of this Showcase is to highlight the contributions of HHS. 

We hope you will find this Showcase illuminating about the role the HHS Intramural Research Programs have played in the effort to advance significantly our capacity to protect and improve health.
