This earned Ohio Univesrity the title of "most revenue generating university in Ohio" in 2011. Most of the revenue was generated by the Ohio University’s license to the Pfizer corporation for a growth hormone receptor antagonist. This technology is used as a therapeutic for patients with acromegaly, a form of gigantism. </span></span></span></span>
