BioEntrepreneurship Initiative

Friday, April 7, 2023 - 5:00pm

Interested in the cross-section of entrepreneurship, biotechnology and health care? Want to explore starting a company around your research but looking for a program and team to help you along the way?  

The BioEntrepreneurship Initiative provides Ph.D., M.D., and D.V.M. candidates, as well as post-docs from across Cornell’s campuses and Tri-Institutional partners, with the opportunity to immerse themselves in real-world startup creation. Participants will be matched with a dedicated MBA student to design their own life science startup. Along the way, participants will gain the tools, training and connections they need through a certificate program offered by the SC Johnson Graduate School of Management.   

Up to 30 applicants will be selected to start the program in the Spring of 2023 – half of the selected Fellows will be MBA students, and half will be researchers, innovators, and clinicians in the life sciences.   

Apply for the program. The deadline for researchers, innovators and clinicians to apply is April 7. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. For more information, contact bioentrepreneurship@cornell.edu
