Catalyst Awards are the centerpiece of the Catalyst Program. UCSF principal investigators with promising early-stage research projects designed for patient benefit and with commercial potential spanning therapeutics, diagnostics, medical devices, digital health, and biotools can apply. Awarded projects receive mentorship and advice from the Catalyst Industry Advisor network as well as seed funding. The most recent Catalyst Award cycle was very competitive.
The Catalyst Advisor Selection Committee selected Minnie Sarwal, MD, PhD and Swas Sur, PhD - Novel Renoprotective Drug Target Discovery in an Established Renal Tubular Injury Model, among 14 other selected projects as the 2023 Catalyst Awardees.
