Where it works with industry

Sector strengths

Verified industry works by sector, with its position in each sector ranking. A university is ranked in a sector once it has at least 20 verified works there; sectors with fewer than 50 eligible universities are provisional.

567counted in the overall index

536 of its 1,103 verified industry works fall within the 21 sectors. The rest have research topics that belong to no industry sector (basic science, for example) or are consortium papers with 100 or more authors, which the sector indices leave out; all of them count fully in the overall index.

Who it works with

Company partners, 2021 to 2025

A company group brings together a company's subsidiaries and research labs under one name. A work counts half when its only company author also holds a post at this university. Consortium papers with 100 or more authors are left out of this table.

Examples of its work with industry

Most-cited verified joint works

Its most-cited verified works with 30 or fewer authors, leaving out guidelines and consensus statements. Citation counts are those of the open scholarly record at harvest. Each title links to the work.

Verified industry works by year

2262024
236.52025

2025 is not yet complete: papers published late in the year are still being added to the open record, and coverage may not be equally complete for every university, so compare years with care. A work counts half when its only company author also holds a post at the university, so some totals end in .5.

Clinical trials (reported, not scored)

12 industry-partnered clinical trials

Trials starting 2021 to 2025 in ClinicalTrials.gov in which a company and this university are the sponsor and a collaborator. Names are matched exactly, so a trial registered only under an affiliated hospital's own name is not counted here, and the count can be well below the university's real trial activity. Trials do not enter the score.

Examples:

  • NCT06517641 Clinical Trial of Upfront Haploidentical or Unrelated Donor BMT to Restore Normal Hematopoiesis in Aplastic Anemia with Sanofi, 2025
  • NCT06689423 Clinical Evaluation of the VitaSIRO Solo™ Respiratory Assay with Credo Diagnostics Biomedical Pte. Ltd., 2024
  • NCT05557370 Immunogenicity of HPV Vaccine in Transplant Recipients. with Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC, 2023
  • NCT06004596 Establishing a Pediatric Reference Range for the 13C-Spirulina Gastric Emptying Breath Test (GEBT) with Cairn Diagnostics, 2023
  • NCT05325281 CPI-613 (Devimistat) in Combination With Chemoradiation in Patients With Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma with Cornerstone Pharmaceuticals, 2022
  • NCT05094206 CAR20.19.22 T-cells in Relapsed, Refractory B-cell Malignancies with Miltenyi Biotec, Inc., 2022

Evidence checked

1,600 verified company links

Each counted link (one work, this university and one company) was confirmed against the affiliation text its author wrote; 897 of 2,497 candidate links were set aside.

Why links were set aside
  • 455 company name not written in the author's affiliation
  • 110 ordinary-word name without a company suffix
  • 105 part of a university or public institute's own unit
  • 48 excluded after hand audit: Aflac appears only as the name of a children's cancer centre
  • 44 a place or common word that failed its stricter rule
  • 29 excluded after hand audit: Matched from social media handles in affiliation text
  • 106 for other reasons: smaller hand-audit findings, and links the current open record no longer supports

GRP Partnership Intelligence Platform

Where Medical College of Wisconsin's collaboration could go next

This profile is free and public, and it stays that way. Beyond it, the GRP Partnership Intelligence Platform, a partner service arranged with each university, sets your record in both GRP indices beside the peers you choose: the universities and companies your peers work with that you do not, live funding calls matched to your strengths, the EU projects your peers have won, and a brief ready for your executive. It opens to partner universities on Monday 19 October 2026: enquire, and the GRP team will confirm availability and pricing for your university.

Something wrong? Every figure comes from the public record and can be checked. If a partner is missing or should not be there, tell us and we will review it with the evidence. The 2027 edition will be calculated with the same published methodology. The window for universities to submit data for it is open now: submit data for the 2027 edition. The index is free, public and independent. No commercial relationship with any university or company changes any position, and no one can pay to be included, excluded or moved.
