Celebrate academic innovation and entrepreneurship while supporting Weill Cornell faculty participants in the 2026 Biomedical Innovation Challenge.
Join the Weill Cornell Medicine community in celebrating the culmination of the Biomedical Innovation Challenge — a premier, faculty-focused program advancing translational science and commercialization.
Over the course of this highly competitive 12-week program, participating teams engaged in expert-led seminars covering key elements of biomedical commercialization, including market and industry analysis, intellectual property strategy, R&D planning, regulatory pathways, manufacturing, business modeling, budgeting and fundraising, among other critical disciplines. Each team was also paired with experienced industry mentors to help shape their commercialization strategies.
The evening will begin with live presentations from the finalist teams, followed by judging from a distinguished panel of venture capital and industry leaders who will select the winning pitches.
