Medical device innovators at Yale now have until next week to apply for a $25,000 prize being offered by Elm City genomics pioneer Jonathan Rothberg.
The Tsai Center for Innovative Thinking at Yale (Tsai CITY), which is managing the grant, said the deadline has been extended to April 4.
The prize will go to a student-led team with the most innovative hardware or artificial intelligence solution to a medical problem.
Rothberg, a Yale alumnus and serial entrepreneur who invented high-speed DNA sequencing and now leads the 4Catalyzer bioscience accelerator in Guilford, is offering the prize at Yale and three other schools to inspire new life-changing medical devices.
Winners will be announced after a pitch-off event at Startup Yale on April 20.
