Monika Gullerova, Professor of Molecular Medicine and our Tutor in Medicine, is one of six Oxford University researchers selected among twelve finalists for the 2025–2027 MIT-Royalty Pharma Prize Competition to support entrepreneurs in biotech.
The University of Oxford and MIT have joined forces to bridge the worlds of academia and entrepreneurship through the MIT-Royalty Pharma Faculty Founder Prize Competition. This two-year initiative (October 2025 – May 2027) empowers faculty at both institutions to translate human health technologies - including diagnostics, therapeutics, devices, and AI‑driven digital health into real-world impact. The 12 finalists for its third prize competition include six each from MIT and from the University of Oxford. The initiative, recently renamed in recognition of a gift by Royalty Pharma, runs a two-year programme that supports biotech innovators and faculty entrepreneurs interested in commercialising their solutions.
Many congratulations to Professor Gullerova and her fellow finalists.
