Advisory Council members will be asked to help the university expand the potential for Bio-X and the Department of Bioengineering. Topics for engagement or review by the Advisory Council include:

Collaboration with the faculty to articulate the vision for the exciting scientific and technical opportunities;
Connections between specific science and technology in order to recognize and exploit new developments and to guide the selection of various opportunities;
Organization of interdisciplinary work groups and management of interdisciplinary multi-school resources;
Leveraging federal funding by achieving successes that attract large grants;
Optimizing technology transfer in the context of Stanford’s Office of Technology Licensing;
Fulfilling the mutual potential of a corporate affiliates program;
Prioritizing the research themes and the resource objectives for donor interest.

In these and other ways the Advisory Council members will help Stanford to increase its external impact. The mission is also to provide the members with an insider’s view of the Bio-X program and the Department of Bioengineering so that they may serve as informed ambassadors.
