2024 Stanford Bio-X PhD Fellows.

June 6, 2024

Stanford Bio-X is delighted to announce the 2024 Stanford Bio-X PhD Fellows. This year's 21 exemplary awardees represent 13 different Stanford departments and programs, and they will collaborate with 42 Stanford faculty mentors to bridge disciplines and undertake groundbreaking innovative research as a part of the Stanford Bio-X community. With the addition of our 2024 cohort, the Stanford Bio-X PhD Fellowship Program has now awarded a total of 406 meritorious Stanford students, supporting their unique and transformative interdisciplinary research projects and scientific careers.

Since its inception in 2004, the Stanford Bio-X Fellowship Program has supported Stanford PhD students pursuing cutting-edge interdisciplinary research under multiple faculty mentors, offering them the freedom to pursue their passions and maximize the impact and expand the scope of their work. These remarkable young researchers receive full support (stipend and tuition) from Bio-X for three years of their graduate studies, allowing them to approach exciting research questions as they create connections within the Bio-X community and across campus.

To date, 305 Stanford Bio-X Fellows have graduated from Stanford, with alumni of the program establishing successful careers in the industry sector, founding start-up companies, holding professorships at Stanford and its peer institutions, and much more. Many of our alumni who have become Stanford faculty have now mentored Bio-X PhD Fellows in their own labs!

We are honored to welcome the 2024 Fellows to the Bio-X community, and look forward to supporting them as they expand their research careers. 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.

Bio-X is grateful to our donors, including the Bowes Foundation, for their continued generous support of the program.
