Kansas City, Missouri, May 3, 2016 (Newswire.com) -  – BioNovus Innovations LLC and the University of Kansas Medical Center’s Institute for Advancing Medical Innovation (IAMI) today announced a new partnership to develop and commercialize new drugs, diagnostics and medical devices.

An agreement between the two organizations provides BioNovus Innovations with rights to license, develop and commercialize medical innovations advanced through IAMI.

“This partnership represents a significant advance in our ability to translate laboratory and bedside discoveries into innovative drugs, diagnostics and medical devices that may improve the lives of patients,” said Scott Weir, Pharm.D., Ph.D., director of IAMI.
