MIT linQ comprises a portfolio of international innovation programs focused on transforming the academic research paradigm—to accelerate the impact of research on our health and wellbeing.
Regardless of the stage of maturity of the research project, there is a relentless focus on closing the gaps to meet a real-world need. The methodology and training are advanced through direct experience working together to drive research from discovery (of needs or science) toward real-world impact.Diverse representation
Participants comprise diverse disciplinary and professional experience, such that the full value chain is represented in a meaningful way. People and programs bring together healthcare, research, and business to improve healthcare through need-driven research and training.
Catalyst is a program within linQ that provides a new opportunity for industry and the academy to work together to nucleate unanticipated but transformational products to solve medical problems that we care about.
