The Singapore-Stanford Biodesign Programme is a joint partnership between the Agency for Science, Technology & Research (A*Star), the Economic Development Board (EDB), and Stanford University's Program in Biodesign.
Under the SKIP programme, SSB will conduct three biodesign workshops for 15 Korean students from DU for three years, where they will understand Singapore's clinical needs challenges and undergo training to become medical device innovators.
