The annual Yale Life Sciences Pitchfest is a one-day event showcasing Yale faculty-led breakthrough research projects in therapeutics, medical devices, and digital health. Over the course of the day, each Yale team presents their projects in 5-minute pitches followed by a 3-minute Q & A with a panel of judges, networking, and awards. The Yale Life Sciences Pitchfest serves as the semifinals for The Blavatnik Fund for Innovation at Yale, a faculty accelerator that supports the commercialization of applied research and technology in the life sciences. The Fund is supported by a grant from The Blavatnik Family Foundation.
