 Office of Technology Development (OTD)

"Could we do it alone?  No.  No scientific enterprise is an island." 
—Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., Director, NIAID

"We have a lot of partnerships so that basic science discoveries that we make can then get translated and developed into medicines." 
—Kathryn C. Zoon, Ph.D., Director, Division of Intramural Research
