Stanford-India Biodesign Fellowships 2011
The goal of Stanford-India Biodesign is to train the next generation of medical technology innovators in India. This is facilitated through a fellowship, internships and events.
Funded by the Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India, Stanford University, and other supporters, the SIB Fellowship Program is centered in New Delhi and administered as a collaboration between Stanford University, the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, and the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in partnership with the Indo-US Science & Technology Forum (IUSSTF). In future years, the fellowship and associated teaching programs will be developed in other centers in India.
Fellows receive tuition, stipend, and international travel support (for trips required for the fellowship.)
Fellowship
This highly competitive program is directed towards Indian citizens who have an interest in the invention and early-stage development of new medical technologies (medical devices). Successful applicants will have advanced degrees and/or significant work experience. University faculty are strongly encouraged to apply.
During the fellowship, approximately half of the fellowship period is at Stanford University and the other half spent in India. Fellows work on a multidisciplinary team joining other innovators with a combination of engineering, medical and business backgrounds.
The team examines clinical needs within the Indian setting, identifying opportunities for medical technology innovation. Working closely with Stanford, AIIMS and IIT Delhi faculty, the teams invent, prototype, develop and patent one or more new technologies. Fellows are also mentored by “real-world” experts from the medical technology, legal and venture capital industries in the United States and India.
The fellowship begins in January each year.
Fellows must commit to remaining in India at the completion of the program, with the intent of returning to academia (to develop Biodesign-related programs), founding startup companies or joining existing medical technology companies.
Fellows are paid a full stipend while they are in the fellowship, although the amount varies between Stanford and Delhi. Any required tuition and health benefits are also covered.
Internship
Internships are offered at the AIIMS SIB Centre on an annual basis. Interns spend several months at the SIB Centre working with the fellows to find solutions to the needs they have identified. Interns are mentored by the SIB Fellows and Faculty during their stay at AIIMS. Interns are paid a modest stipend. Further information is available on the Internship page.
Events
Every year we hold an Indian Medtech Summit in Delhi, India. The AIIMS SIB faculty, fellows and staff facilitate the event and many members of the medtech community Stanford India Biodesign (SIB) Centre
