HBS Names Blavatnik Fellows
Harvard Business School has named its 2014-2015 Blavatnik Fellows in Life Science Entrepreneurship. These fellows are five outstanding HBS alumni who graduated from the School no more than seven years ago. The fellows will work with inventors from Harvard University’s research laboratories to promote the commercialization of innovative life science-oriented technologies.
The Blavatnik Fellowship Program, which admits three to seven exceptional individuals each year through a competitive application process, was created in 2013 as part of a $50 million gift to Harvard University from the Blavatnik Family Foundation. The Fellowship was the launch of a major initiative to expedite new ventures via the Blavatnik Biomedical Accelerator, which identifies and supports early-stage, highly promising technologies from Harvard University.
