For more than 20 years, Stanford Biodesign has been bringing the world's most promising minds together to investigate, inspire and innovate a healthier world for all. 

Our mission is to advance health outcomes and equity through innovation education, translation and policy. We train aspiring innovators in a proven, repeatable process for identifying and screening important unmet health-related needs, inventing new solutions to address them, and developing implementation plans to advance those technoligies into patient care. Our trainees work in interdisciplinary teams and are mentored by clinical and industry experts. 

To date Stanford Biodesign has trained more than 200 full-time Innovation Fellows and over 2,500 students. More than 50 companies have been founded based on technologies invented during training at Stanford Biodesign - with many more companies subsequently founded by our trainees - and those technologies have helped millions of people.
