Stanford Bio-X is delighted to announce the 2020 Stanford Bio-X Graduate Fellows. These 21 exemplary students represent 14 different programs and departments coming to the Stanford Bio-X community from 20 Stanford faculty labs. With the addition of this 2020 cohort, the Stanford Bio-X Graduate Fellowship Program has now offered 3-year funding support to a total of 318 meritorious Stanford graduate students conducting unique and transformative interdisciplinary research projects to tackle the complexity of the human body.

Bio-X is grateful to our donors, including the Bowes Foundation, for their continued generous support of the Stanford Bio-X Graduate Fellowship Program. Since its inception in 2004, the program supports Stanford graduate students pursuing cutting-edge interdisciplinary research under multiple faculty mentors, offering them the freedom to maximize the impact and expand the scope of their work. 210 Stanford Bio-X Fellows have graduated from Stanford and are now pursuing successful careers in the industry sector, have co-founded start-up companies, and hold professorships at Stanford and its peer institutions.

We are honored to include the 2020 Fellows in the Bio-X community and look forward to helping them pursue their passions. To learn more about the program, meet the previous cohorts, and read about the successes of our Fellows, please visit the Stanford Bio-X Fellows website.
