Stanford Bio-X has selected 21 graduate students to participate in the next round of its three-year fellowship program. The students come from eleven academic departments spanning the schools of Medicine, Engineering and Humanities & Sciences, and will each carry out interdisciplinary research with multiple mentors from different departments.

Supporting students in research that spans disciplines is a critical way Bio-X creates bridges between fields of research. These students work at the boundary of the biosciences and engineering where the potential for transformative discoveries is enormous.

This is the tenth year for the Stanford Bio-X fellowship program, which has so far supported 174 graduate students. In addition to their research, the fellows participate in a yearly symposium to discuss their research with other faculty and peers. This year's symposium will be June 26.

With independent support, the Bio-X fellows have the freedom to do what they dream to do and to pursue innovative projects with multiple advisors. Support for the Bio-X fellows comes from the William K. Bowes Foundation and other generous donors. Here's more about the Stanford Bio-X fellowship program and a list of all fellows.
