The Wadhwani Research Centre for Bioengineering (WRCB) is happy to announce its 11th call for proposals. Short concept notes are invited from IIT Bombay faculty members in any of the four focus areas of WRCB (Diagnostics, Therapeutics, MedTech, and Synthetic Biology). The start date for accepting the concept notes is 19th April 2023.
Concept notes will be reviewed by a team of internal and external experts to gauge their
(a) technical feasibility,
(b) novelty and potential for generating new IP,
(c) any regulatory hurdles,
(d) potential for further fundraising,
(e) market need of the proposed solution, and
(f) commitment of the applicant team to see the project through commercialization by either licensing or a spin-off company.
