Stanford India Biodesign
The goal of Stanford-India Biodesign is
to train the next generation of medical technology innovators in India.
This highly competitive program is directed towards Indian citizens who
have an interest in the invention and early-stage development of new medical
technologies. Successful applicants will have advanced degrees and/or
significant work experience. University faculty are strongly encouraged
to apply.
Funded by the Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Science
and Technology, Government of India, Stanford University, and other supporters,
the SIB Fellowship Program is centered in New Delhi and administered as
a collaboration between Stanford University, the Indian
Institute of Technology Delhi, and the All
India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in partnership with
the Indo-US
Science & Technology Forum (IUSSTF). In future years, the
fellowship and associated teaching programs will be developed in
other centers in India.
Fellows receive tuition, stipend, and international travel support (for
trips required for the fellowship.) During the fellowship, approximately
half of the fellows’ time is spent in India, and the other half
at Stanford University. Fellows work on a multidisciplinary team joining
other innovators with a combination of engineering, medical and business
backgrounds.
The team examines clinical needs within the Indian setting, identifying opportunities for medical technology innovation. Working closely with Stanford, AIIMS and IIT Delhi faculty, the teams invent, prototype, develop and patent one or more new technologies. Fellows are also mentored by “real-world” experts from the medical technology, legal and venture capital industries in the United States and India.
The fellowship begins in January each year.
Fellows must commit to remaining in India at the completion of the program, with the intent of returning to academia (to develop Biodesign-related programs), founding startup companies or joining existing medical technology companies.
Fellows are paid a full stipend while they are in the fellowship, although the amount varies between Stanford and Delhi. Any required tuition and health benefits are also covered.
