The University of Colorado in a 2019 global ranking of the top 100 universities granted U.S. utility patents.

All four campuses contributed to CU’s total of more than 100 patents, with CU ��«����Ƶ contributing 60.

While an increase in patents is a good sign for a research institution’s ability to innovate, the real story is in the potential impact.

, a digital genome engineering company, is one example of a CU-born high-growth startup. The spinoff was founded on an exclusive license to a portfolio of CU patents, including “CRISPR-enabled multiplexed genome engineering” invented by chemical and biological engineering associate professor and Inscripta co-founder Ryan Gill. The innovation developed in the Gill lab accelerates the capabilities of CRISPR genome engineering to better understand diseases and improve the design of new therapeutics.
