Are you an academic trainee (Post-doc/PhD/MBA/MD/JD) interested in building a life science startup? Are you passionate about therapeutics, diagnostics, medtech, or synthetic biology? How about food, energy, agriculture, or consumer products?

Nucleate NY is excited to announce that the application for the 2023 Activator program is now open! The Activator program provides education and support for academic trainees and investigators looking to spin out their research into a venture.

The program allows you to apply with an idea (you have a technology) or without one (join a team).

If you have an idea (i.e. you’re an Inventor), you can apply for either the Bio or Eco track:

• Bio Track: therapeutics, diagnostics, or tools
• Eco Track: food & agriculture, chemicals & energy, or consumer products

If you don’t, you can join a team through the matching process as a scientific, business, or clinical contributor.
