Opportunities

Funding the Future of Bio-Medicines

“The breadth and depth of biology at Stanford is second to none. If this expertise can be more effectively coupled with state-of-the-art molecular design and analysis, the university could accelerate the engineering of innovative drug prototypes that will, in turn, spawn the next generation of medicines that cure disease or reduce the cost of hospitalization or professional services.”
