Project Description
MESH INNOVATION TEAMS™ Biodesign Program
MESH Innovation Teams is a collaborative year-long program connecting Mass General Brigham clinicians to engineers, MBA candidates, and entrepreneurs to solve critical clinical problems. Collaborating with Harvard Innovation Labs, candidates will join a MESH Team and obtain real world experience and first-hand exposure to generating healthcare innovations and creating companies in the complex medical environment throughout the academic year. MESH provides team members with access to MGH and Harvard physicians, residents, faculty, experienced entrepreneurs, venture capital networking, and Mass General Brigham Innovation along with formal training courses in healthcare entrepreneurship with the ultimate goal of patenting innovations and/or forming start-up companies.
To date, Innovation Teams has formed 9 companies and submitted produced numerous intellectual property disclosures or patents.

Year-long Biodesign
Innovation teams is a year-long biodesign program that connects Mass General Brigham physician faculty and residents with the broader Harvard community, including scientists, engineers, and business students to solve front line clinical problems tackled daily by clinicians. In collaboration with the Harvard iLab, MESH has now fielded over 10 teams that have already generated multiple proof of concept prototypes and patent applications. The teams are intended to bring together first time clinicians with entrepreneurs and then after some guidance be able to funnel into the existing entrepreneurship infrastructure at Harvard Innovation labs and the greater Boston ecosystem.
