Let's Look Back at an Exciting 2024
2024 was an eventful year, filled with opportunities for Brandeis researchers to win funding and support for their inventions, for students to learn entrepreneurship, and for the innovation community at Brandeis to come together. We continued our Sprout and I-Corps programs, advancing the commercialization of the most promising research. Research in materials science, therapeutics, diagnostics, and artificial intelligence received Brandeis Innovation support to identify potential pathways to commercial production and industry partnerships.
Our student-facing programs attracted record numbers of aspiring student entrepreneurs, who receive training, mentorship, and support for student ventures through the Spark program.
Check out the highlights of 2024 in our Year in Review.
