Stanford University has been selected as a partner
by the Wallace
H. Coulter Foundation, which supports collaborative translational
research projects through an award to Bioengineering, one of nine
such awards nationwide.
The Stanford-Coulter Translational Research Grants Program awards
$800,000 a year to Bioengineering faculty members and their clinician
researcher collaborators from the School of Medicine. Together,
these teams of co-investigators work to develop new technologies
that address unmet clinical needs, improve health care and lead
to commercially available products.
Stanford University brings together top-notch clinical research and a tradition of innovation on its campus in the heart of Silicon Valley, the technology capital of the world. This unique position, along with support from the Coulter foundation, will allow awardees to quickly and expertly meet the challenges and needs facing medicine today.
Translational
bioengineering is almost a redundant idea, because the goal of
bioengineering is specifically to discover and invent in order
to impact the world! Read more>>
