BMIR Industry Affiliate Programs
Our Goals
BMIR is a research division in the Department of Medicine, whose mission is to develop and deploy novel computational and statistical methods to improve human health and clinical care.
The goals of the BMIR Corporate Affiliates Program are:
- To expose member companies to cutting-edge research in BMIR Labs, and to explore high-risk/high-reward research projects that the affiliate company cannot easily initiate in-house
- To provide Stanford students and postdocs opportunities for networking, recruitment, and professional development at the affiliated companies.
All results of research conducted through the Corporate Affiliates Program are shared among program members and with the general public. All membership fees are unrestricted funds used to support BMIR research and associated operations. If appropriate, targeted areas of mutual interest may lead to separate sponsored research agreements.
