ISMMS-KiiLN Postdoctoral Entrepreneurship Award

Starting this year, the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS), together with Keystone for Incubating Innovation in Life sciences Network (KiiLN), will present the ISMMS-KiiLN Postdoctoral Entrepreneurship Award at the Annual Innovation Awards Ceremony. This newly established award will become an annual prize to honor postdoctoral entrepreneurs at the SINAInnovations conference. Established in 2019 through a generous gift from the co-founders of KiiLN (five former ISMMS postdocs), this award will recognize postdoctoral fellows who co-found or lead companies to address unmet needs in life sciences including but not limited to Basic Science, Translational Science, and Clinical Care Delivery. The award is designed to highlight entrepreneurial endeavors of ISMMS postdoctoral fellows who take their discoveries beyond the bench by creating diagnostics, devices, therapeutic products, etc.

Award Criteria:

You are eligible to apply if you

1. Are a current or former ISMMS postdoctoral fellow; or have a team that includes at least one ISMMS postdoctoral fellow as co-founder or C-suite executive AND

2. Have formed a company (e.g. startup or non-profit organization) addressing an unmet need, or have commercialized an invention, or have developed a technology, etc.
