Princeton collaborates with many partners from industry, government and the nonprofit sector. Every collaboration is unique, reflecting the mutually-beneficial interests of the University and the partner. This selection of partnership overviews is presented to suggest the expansive range of how Princeton and partners can work together. We hope they will spark your ideas for how your organization may work with Princeton. Let's explore the possibilities!

Partnerships

  • Chemistry lab with people working in it and bathed in blue light.

    David MacMillan’s team at Princeton University found a new way to use ordinary blue light shining on an iron catalyst to create carbon-carbon bonds that are otherwise difficult to form. The molecules constructed through this process fit with drug targets as precisely as “a key going into a lock,” said researchers.
