- OPEN
Multidisciplinary teams collaborate to invent medical technologies at Stanford University's Biodesign program.
Teams invent new technologies that address major clinical and surgical needs. In the past nine years Biodesign Innovation teams have filed multiple patents, have introduced new technologies into clinical practice, have started new companies and have won major technology development awards.
Schedule: All of the fellows complete a 10-month program, stipend supported. Surgeons in their two-year residency research period will complete a second year regardless of first-year team assignment. Other fellows will have the opportunity to do a second year if they are working on a project and are able to secure second year funding.
Location: Stanford, CA
Close Date: 10/12/2010
Applicants with a background in engineering, medicine, biosciences or relevant business /technology are encouraged to apply. Masters, Medical or Doctorate degrees preferred. Resident/fellows in surgery who enjoy applying technology to solve unmet clinical needs and who thrive on the process of innovation are encouraged to apply for the Fellowship. Candidates will be judged in terms of potential to become leaders in biomedical technology innovation, including demonstrated potential for creativity, invention and implementation.
The Biodesign program offers a unique opportunity to interact with the local bay area medical device community to learn the process of innovation from inception through business planning.
