Are you interested in the cross-field between life sciences and entrepreneurship? This fall the 2IP (International Innovation Project) will host four webinars on the topic designed to give students an insight into Silicon Valley from a life science perspective.
Thriving in the space between University and start-ups
Listen to some of the learnings that Kevin Grimes has made over the past 10 years working with the SPARK program and how he recommends students and entrepreneurs move forward with their projects. The Spark program emphasizes new ways to bridge the gap between academic discoveries and products that benefit patients by providing mentorship, funding and hands-on advising and funding to Stanford affiliates whose product proposals have been accepted for development.
