SYNERGY FOR HEALTH INNOVATIONS

Health Innovation Development Centre is a place where science and business meet, and ideas transform into real, value-creating solutions in the fields of health, life sciences, and veterinary sciences.

  • We work together with scientists, researchers, innovators, students, business representatives, and investors to help create, develop, and commercialise research and experimental development (R&D) and innovations.
  • We provide comprehensive support along the innovation journey – from idea development to commercialisation. Acting as a bridge between the university and the market, we ensure smooth knowledge transfer, intellectual property protection, technology application in practice, and the growth of young businesses.
  • By fostering close collaboration with local and European organisations, we offer entrepreneurship development programmes, mentorship, expert consultations, and tailored support at every stage of R&D and innovation development.
  • We help ideas grow and become solutions that contribute to better human and animal health and a more sustainable future.

University Infrastructure

  • 4 research institutes and 9 faculty-based institutes conduct fundamental, clinical, and applied research.
  • LSMU is the founder of two integrated science, study, and business centres – the Santaka and Nemunas valleys.
  • The LSMU Veterinary Academy houses the Biological Research Centre, modernised laboratories, and the Vivarium.
  • LSMU provides a full range of services – from pre-clinical to clinical research.
  • Practical training and experimental development centres, as well as testing facilities, create the conditions for conducting research and developing innovations in animal husbandry.

Services and equipment

Make use of modern scientific infrastructure. The Open Access Centre offers laboratories, research equipment, and scientific services – either independently or with the support of our experts. This is an opportunity for businesses and researchers to accelerate R&D activities.

Patents and intellectual property

Protect your idea and bring it to market. The LSMU Innovation Centre helps assess the patentability of inventions, manage intellectual property registration, and prepare for commercialisation.

Entrepreneurship development

From idea to real business. We provide consultancy on innovative product development, business model creation, and funding opportunities. We organise events and training to help you find partners and expand your network.


Partnerships

The Lithuanian University of Health Sciences (LSMU) is an active member of integrated science, study, and business centres – known as valleys. LSMU is part of the Nemunas and Santaka valleys, which bring together advanced research centres, business partners, and the academic community. The activities of the valleys are focused on strengthening research and experimental development (R&D) infrastructure, and making it accessible to business, researchers, and society.

LSMU collaborates closely with various partners who strengthen the health innovation ecosystem.
