Emergence Program
Driving Health Impact through Education and Entrepreneurship
We catalyze entrepreneurship to improve health outcomes through preventive and inclusive innovation.
Emergence, at the Stanford Prevention Research Center within the Department of Medicine, is focused on catalyzing entrepreneurship for health impact through preventive and inclusive innovations. We develop educational and translational programs, along with an ecosystem of cross-sector collaborations, to support entrepreneurs who are tackling systemic challenges in the health of our society and planet.
Our programs focus on three key areas to achieve our vision for health impact.
Research
We create frameworks and methodologies that bridge scientific discovery with real-world applications, ensuring that valuable insights in research translate into tangible benefits for communities, ultimately enhancing public health and improving overall well-being.
