Innovation & Entrepreneurship at KSU

Dr. Chris Cornelison directs the Office of Intellectual Property Development, a new support unit established within the Office of Research in spring 2020.

Dr. Jonathan McMurry co-founded New Echota Biotechnology with the late Dr. John C. Salerno, a start-up venture based on intellectual property held by the Kennesaw State University Research and Service Foundation. 

Mr. Greg Quinet, executive director, and Dr. Birton Cowden, research director, both from the Robin and Doug Shore Entrepreneurship Center in the Michael J. Coles College of Business, support entrepreneurship across KSU.

These faculty are examples of how KSU is taking Research with Relevance and advancing into markets. Together they represent the innovative spirit of KSU faculty, staff and students as well as KSU's commitment to transitioning research and scholarship out of the academic setting and into commercial markets.
