“WE VALUE OUR PARTNERSHIPS”

The Food Protein R&D Center has an extensive history of conducting cutting edge, innovative research and process development, sponsored by our corporate partners, industry trade groups and public sector entities. Many of these projects have resulted in fundamentally new technologies that have been applied to existing processes, utilized to launch new products, or generated significant opportunities for those who have implemented these innovations.

So how can we help generate solutions and potential opportunity for your organization? As part of R&D technology development efforts, our technical and administrative staff routinely work with our sponsors to facilitate their business development activities – possibly resulting in a competitive technical edge, reduced operating or manufacturing cost, or entry into a new market. We can also assist with intellectual property issues, organize STTR or SBIR grant opportunities (for qualified companies), facilitate access to our patents, or co-develop technology in out laboratory and pilot scale processing plants. Our staff can also act as a gateway to other Texas A&M faculty research and facilities through collaborations and sponsored R&D.

The Food Protein R&D Center at Texas A&M University has implemented many changes in FY 2003, positioning us to continue providing outstanding, cutting-edge process solutions for our world renowned, technically diverse team. Additionally, we are particularly proud of our often-updated inventory of industrial and pilot scale equipment. Our center continues to evolve so that we can focus on you, the customer and stay abreast of current and ‘hot’ topics. Thank you for visiting our web site and we look forward to serving your process and innovation needs.
