Leading early-career scientists from the world’s top academic institutions are invited to submit original project proposals in the fields of biotechnology, nanotechnology, and engineering. Roche and BioMed X will jointly select the best ideas and research talent to form a new research group within BioMed’s open innovation lab in Heidelberg. BioMed X has developed a unique innovation model that offers a project plan competition, an attractive funding package, business education, and guidance from experienced mentors in academia and industry.
BioMed X’s open innovation lab is part of a multidisciplinary life sciences campus at Heidelberg University, providing an inspiring and multidisciplinary environment for project teams. BioMed X’s unique support environment offers an exciting opportunity for the project plan competition winners to combine cutting-edge nanomaterials research with biomedical expertise to develop a new sensor technology platform for rapid, easy, on-the-go patient testing without the need for laboratory analysis.
BioMed X will be responsible for the operation of the innovation center, offering business training and providing access to the scientific community and research facilities in Heidelberg.
