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.
